How to Use the S Gear in Focus?

[OTessa]

S gear is the sport mode of the car. Below is the relevant introduction about the Focus gear positions: 1. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. 2. S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working aspects. In the short term, the transmission load increases, and the temperature rises accordingly, leading to increased wear. Therefore, try not to use S gear for extended periods. In terms of fuel consumption, because the fuel injection volume increases at high RPM, the fuel consumption in S gear mode is much higher than in normal mode. 3. For cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas, the engine tends to accumulate more carbon deposits. Therefore, using S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits in the engine, improve fuel economy, and extend engine life.
