Is It Harmful to Always Drive in S Mode?

[Harrison]

Always driving in S mode is harmful to the car. The S mode only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects, which inevitably increases the transmission load in the short term and accelerates tire wear. Here is a detailed introduction about car gears: 1. Speed range: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h. Second gear corresponds to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Gear shifting timing: For most cars, the optimal shifting point is when the engine reaches 2000 r/min, and it should not exceed 2500 r/min. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.
