What is the purpose of the S gear in a car?
1 Answers
Car's S gear represents the sport mode of the vehicle, typically used during hill climbing and rapid overtaking. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer period, delivering instant high torque output and increasing the vehicle's power. Other gears in a car: 1. P gear is the parking gear, also known as the starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, used during temporary stops (such as at a red light). This gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed.
