What is the function of the S gear in a car?
1 Answers
The functions of the S gear in a car are: 1. In S gear (Sport mode), the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting will be delayed when changing gears again; 2. It keeps the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. This mode is typically used for climbing hills or quick overtaking. The method for shifting gears in S mode is: 1. Shift the gear to D mode and push the gear lever to the right, which activates the Sport mode in the transmission; 2. Use forward and backward movements of the gear lever to shift gears—pushing forward shifts up, while pulling back shifts down; 3. To switch back to automatic mode, simply push the gear lever to the left to the D position to complete the shift.
