How to use the Magotan S gear?
2 Answers
The S gear of the Magotan can be engaged by simply pushing the gear lever into the "S" position. It is typically used for climbing slopes and rapid acceleration. More details about the S gear are as follows: 1. The S gear is the car's sport mode ("S" stands for "Sport"). In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPMs for a longer period. This keeps the car in a lower gear with higher RPMs for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. The S gear can be used on sandy or muddy terrain and also serves as an overtaking gear. The S gear provides prolonged traction, making it easier to accelerate. To engage the S gear from D gear, release the throttle, press the gear shift button, and shift into the S gear.
As a frequent driver of the Magotan, I find the S mode quite convenient. For everyday city driving, I usually use the D mode, which is fuel-efficient and smooth. But when I need to accelerate quickly, such as for overtaking or climbing steep slopes, I simply shift the gear lever from D to S. In this mode, the engine RPM increases, and the power response is exceptionally quick, giving an immediate sense of acceleration and push-back feeling. Especially on the highway, using S mode makes the car respond swiftly to throttle inputs, significantly enhancing the driving pleasure. However, it's worth noting that S mode shouldn't be used too frequently as it consumes more fuel than D mode, and prolonged high RPM can be harsh on the engine. My advice is to use it no more than once or twice a week, perhaps for a fun drive on weekends. The Magotan's design of this feature is very user-friendly, and even beginners can try it safely.
