What is Sport Driving Mode?
1 Answers
Sport mode is the "S" gear/sport mode on a vehicle. In sport mode, the car's performance can truly be unleashed, and the previously unexperienced "pushing-back sensation" will immediately follow. Not only that, but the car will also adjust other settings, such as stiffening the suspension, increasing engine air intake, significantly raising fuel consumption, and even some performance cars may alter electronic systems and body configurations. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission gears: L gear: Low gear, which limits speed. When climbing a hill, shifting to this gear maintains high RPMs at a low gear. S gear: Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPMs for an extended period, allowing the car to move at low gear and high RPMs for longer durations. D gear: Drive gear, used for forward movement while driving. N gear: Neutral gear, used during brief stops. P gear: Parking gear, which must be engaged when parking to stop the vehicle and prevent rolling. R gear: Reverse gear, used when backing up, but it should only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stopped. Shifting into R gear while the car is still moving slowly can cause severe damage to the transmission.
