What does DS in automatic transmission mean?

[Brody]

In automatic transmission, D stands for Drive, and S stands for Sport mode. Automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gear positions from top to bottom are: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The method for shifting gears in an automatic transmission is as follows: 1. When preparing to start driving, after pressing the brake, push the gear lever forward to the D position; 2. Fully release the handbrake, gently press the accelerator, and after the car moves forward a certain distance, release the brake and continue accelerating; 3. When the speed drops below 40 km/h, shift to D3 or 2nd gear; 4. Generally, shift gears when the speed is below 30 km/h; 5. Shift into P (Park) after the vehicle is turned off; 6. To shift into R (Reverse), press the safety button on the gear lever; 7. For temporary parking, shift into N (Neutral) and firmly apply the handbrake.
