What does the 'S' in an automatic transmission mean?
1 Answers
S stands for Sport mode. Here is more information about the S gear: 1. In S gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time to increase vehicle power. 2. Generally, the S gear will have symbols like '+' and '-', which indicate gear adjustment. 3. For long downhill or uphill sections, the driver can use the S gear while pressing '+' or '-' to achieve a more ideal speed, which can also reduce some prolonged braking actions.
