How to Use the S Gear in Volkswagen Cars?
1 Answers
Volkswagen cars' S gear usage method is: 1. The S gear is usually used when high torque is needed, such as climbing slopes and quick overtaking. 2. When the gear lever is in this position, all forward gears will automatically delay upshifting and advance downshifting based on engine load, personal driving style, and vehicle speed, making full use of the engine's power reserve, resulting in higher torque output and acceleration. Extended content: Tips for using the S gear in Volkswagen cars are: 1. Generally, when overtaking, you can shift into the S gear to enhance acceleration. Engaging the S gear can increase the engine load in a short time, but the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working aspects, which will inevitably increase the transmission load in a short time, accompanied by rising temperature, and the resulting wear will also intensify. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for a long time. 2. Because the fuel injection amount increases at high speeds, the fuel consumption in S gear mode is also higher than in normal mode. During vehicle start-up, high-speed cruising, and vehicle coasting, do not shift into the S gear under these three circumstances, as even if you shift into it, you will not achieve good usage effects, and it will only increase fuel consumption.
