How to Use the S Gear in Lavida?

[Val]

Lavida's S gear is used when the car needs to overtake or climb a slope. The S gear can increase the engine load, which results in delayed gear shifting and greater power output in a short period, making it easier to overtake or climb a slope. In this gear, the car's RPM is higher, the fuel injection volume from the engine's fuel injector also increases, and fuel consumption rises accordingly. The dimensions of the Lavida are 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, and 1474 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2668 mm. Lavida is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with 1.2T, 1.4T low-power, 1.4T high-power, and 1.6L gasoline engines.
