How to Use the S Gear in Focus?

[AryaDella]

The S gear in Focus can be engaged directly while the car is moving without the need to brake or stop, allowing free switching. Detailed information is as follows: 1. The S gear is set to sport mode, which increases the RPM during gear shifts to maintain the engine speed in a relatively high range for enhanced power. Therefore, upshifting in S gear is slower than in D gear (higher RPM), but downshifting is faster. Among them, +- represents manual mode, with + for upshifting and - for downshifting. In this mode, the gear will automatically downshift but not upshift. 2. The S gear is the sport mode of the automatic transmission. It provides stronger acceleration but increases fuel consumption. Other aspects are the same as the D gear. However, pressing + or - enters manual mode, where automatic upshifting and downshifting are temporarily disabled. Some older automatic transmissions would revert to automatic sport mode after a while.
