What Does Sport Mode Mean?
1 Answers
Sport mode is a driving mode in automatic transmission vehicles. In sport mode, the gear shift RPM is increased, resulting in slower gear shifts and thus faster acceleration for the vehicle. Below is some related information about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle will be. 2. Driving Tips: For manual transmission vehicles, higher RPMs should be used when shifting gears. Engines are designed to operate at higher RPMs, with various components' dynamic balance and rotational inertia parameters optimized for high-speed conditions. If the engine operates for extended periods outside its normal working range, internal components experience increased load and wear, leading to frequent vibrations and knocking, which can also affect the engine's lifespan.
