In what situations is the S gear generally used in automatic vehicles?

[CaliFitz]

S gear can be used during aggressive driving or overtaking. After shifting into S gear, the vehicle's power response becomes quicker and the power output increases. However, using S gear will lead to higher fuel consumption. S stands for "Sport," which is essentially the sport mode. Relevant information about S gear is as follows: 1. In S gear (Sport mode), the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for a longer duration to deliver instant high torque and enhance vehicle power. 2. When using S gear, due to the increased RPM, the engine's fuel injection changes, resulting in stronger power output.
