What is the purpose of the S mode?
1 Answers
S mode is the sport mode of a car (S stands for sport). In S mode, the transmission can shift gears freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to maintain a lower gear with higher RPM for an extended duration, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Here are some related details: Control usage time: Since S mode only delays upshifting without altering other operational aspects, it inevitably increases the transmission load in a short period, accompanied by rising temperatures and accelerated wear. Therefore, try to avoid prolonged use of S mode.
