Should I Use D Gear or S Gear for Highway Driving?
1 Answers
For highway driving, using D gear is sufficient, while S gear can be employed during aggressive driving or overtaking. Automatic transmissions are equipped with an S gear, where 'S' stands for 'Sport,' indicating the sport mode. When switched to S gear, the transmission enters sport mode, and the engine's operation mode will also adjust accordingly. In S gear, the transmission delays shifting, only upshifting when the engine reaches the redline. D gear is the forward drive gear for automatic cars. When in D gear, the car actively upshifts to maintain lower RPM levels. Common automatic transmission gears include P (Park), N (Neutral), D (Drive), R (Reverse), S (Sport), and L (Low).
