The method to use the S gear in Sagitar is: 1. Shift the gear to D position, then push the gear lever to the right, at this time the transmission enters the sports mode; 2. Use the method of pushing the gear lever forward and backward to shift gears, pushing forward to upshift and pushing backward to downshift; 3. Push the gear lever to the left to the D position to complete the switching between S gear and D gear. The Sagitar is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, maximum power 85 kilowatts, maximum torque 175 Newton meters.

I've been driving the Sagitar for several years and find the S mode quite convenient. Simply shift the gear lever from D to S while driving—it's straightforward and hassle-free. It delays gear shifts, increases engine RPM, and provides quicker acceleration response, making it especially suitable for steep climbs or high-speed overtaking. However, avoid using it continuously; stick to D mode for regular city driving to prevent excessive fuel consumption. Remember to check the transmission fluid during routine maintenance to ensure smooth operation in sport mode. I often use it during outings or on mountain roads for stronger power and more driving fun, but always stay aware of road conditions—avoid using it recklessly on slippery surfaces, as safety comes first. Proper gear shifting can also extend your car's longevity.

As a car enthusiast, I find the S mode in the Sagitar incredibly exhilarating. Just a quick shift to the S position while driving instantly makes the throttle more responsive, the engine roar louder, and acceleration faster—it's a blast for overtaking on highways. However, it does guzzle fuel noticeably quicker, so I only engage it when needed, like for short bursts of speed or uphill climbs. Remember to avoid using it in heavy traffic to prevent engine overheating. After use, promptly return to D mode and make it a habit to check the vehicle maintenance records—playing with sport mode means taking extra care of your car. While it enhances driving pleasure, moderation is key to avoid damaging the transmission.

Operating the S gear in the Sagitar is quite simple—just shift the gear lever to S while driving. I mainly use it when there's a strong need for acceleration, such as quickly merging into the main lane, where the immediate power boost comes in handy. However, it does consume more fuel, so it's best to avoid using it during daily commutes to save money. Develop the habit of switching back to normal gear promptly after a few uses.
