In “S” (Sport) mode of the automatic transmission:
* The transmission shifts to higher gears at higher engine speeds, resulting in faster throttle response.
*More aggressive shift algorithms are available to produce more power and torque.
* The transmission can hold down a lower gear when accelerating or leaning, providing a more responsive driving experience.
* Some transmissions also have a manual gear hold feature in “S” mode, allowing the driver to hold the selected gear longer than is possible in other modes.
