What does the S in automatic transmission mean?
1 Answers
S gear stands for (sport) mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time to increase the vehicle's power. Here is an introduction to the automatic transmission gears: 1. P gear represents the parking gear, used when parking, meaning it is engaged after the car is parked, but it must only be engaged after the car is completely stopped. Its purpose is to effectively lock the car's output system, preventing the car from moving. 2. R gear represents the reverse gear. However, it is important to note that when preparing to reverse, the car must be in a completely stopped state before engaging this gear, otherwise it can easily cause wear to the transmission. 3. N gear represents the neutral gear, used when parking. 4. D gear represents the drive gear, which is the gear needed when the vehicle is in motion.
