How to use the Magotan S gear?

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.

I use the S mode most often in my Magotan when I want a bit of spirited driving. The operation is simple: just shift the gear lever directly to the S position, or use the paddle shifters on the steering wheel to switch. At this point, the engine revs higher, throttle response becomes super sensitive, and the acceleration feels exhilarating, almost like driving a race car. It's perfect for experiencing strong g-forces on open roads or track days. But to be honest, I don't use it during regular highway cruising because fuel consumption skyrockets, costing significantly more than usual. Additionally, the S mode should be used with caution on rainy or slippery roads as it can easily cause wheel spin. The Magotan is well-tuned, so stability in S mode is decent, but I recommend experienced drivers try it first rather than going all out right away. Overall, it's a great feature for occasional stress relief.

Using the S gear in the Magotan is primarily to enhance safety performance. For example, when overtaking, switching from D gear to S gear allows for faster acceleration, reducing the risk of lane changes. I only use it in necessary scenarios, such as steep slopes or urgent acceleration. The specific method is to lightly pull the gear lever or press a button, which increases RPM and enhances power. However, beginners should not attempt this blindly and should first familiarize themselves with D gear operations. Using S gear will increase fuel consumption and cause more tire wear, so it's recommended to control the frequency of use. Safety first, always pay attention to road conditions.
