What is the S gear in an automatic transmission car for?

[Alex]

In an automatic transmission car, the S gear stands for the sport mode. Here are some additional details: 1. When the vehicle is in motion, the driver can manually shift gears freely without being controlled by the automatic transmission. At low speeds, it maintains excellent power output, while at high speeds, it delivers maximum power for driving. 2. On long downhill or uphill sections, you can press the minus button while in S gear to achieve a more ideal speed, reducing the need for prolonged braking. 3. In S gear sport mode, you will experience a sense of excitement and explosive power. The vehicle's computer and transmission will adjust, delaying the shift timing and maintaining a lower gear with higher RPM to provide more abundant torque. The direct sensation is rapid acceleration, strong push-back feeling, immediate power response, and flexible handling, but it also results in relatively higher fuel consumption.
