What is the function of the S gear in Mondeo?
1 Answers
S stands for SPORT, meaning the sport mode. Below are the detailed introductions of car gear positions: 1. P gear is the parking gear: When the gear lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral, but the output shaft is mechanically locked. At this time, the car will stop in place even without stepping on the brake, generally used for long-term parking. When engaging the P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage the P gear before the car comes to a complete stop, and always apply the handbrake. When parking on a slope, first apply the handbrake and then engage the P gear. 2. R gear is the reverse gear: When the gear lever is in the R position, the rotation direction of the transmission output shaft is opposite to that of the engine, allowing the car to move backward. When engaging the R gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage the R gear before the car comes to a complete stop. 3. N gear is the neutral gear: When the gear lever is in the N position, the gears inside the transmission are idling, and the clutch is not engaged, resulting in the minimum load on the transmission. The N gear is generally used for short-term parking, such as waiting at a red light, and the transmission should also be in the N gear when the car is being towed. 4. D gear is the driving gear: When the gear lever is in the D position, the gears inside the transmission automatically switch between the lowest and highest gears according to factors such as vehicle speed and throttle opening, based on the preset shifting pattern. In most cases, the D gear can be used for driving.
