The S (Sport) mode in the automatic transmission is designed for sportier and more responsive driving. Here are its features:
* Increased throttle response: The transmission responds to throttle inputs more quickly and aggressively.
* Shift Delay: Gears are held longer at high rpm for increased torque and power.
* Reduced torque converter lock-up: The torque converter locks up less frequently or later, allowing more power to be sent to the wheels.
* Sharper Shifts: Gear shifts more quickly and noticeably, creating a more dynamic acceleration experience.
Mode S is typically used for:
* Dynamic Acceleration: S mode allows the car to accelerate faster.
* Overtaking: It provides an instant burst of power for overtaking on the road.
* Mountain Road Control: S mode helps control the car on uphill and downhill roads.
* Driving pleasure: S mode provides a more fun and responsive driving experience.
