One dealer I test drove at said the S was for 'Second'. One dealer I test drove at said the S was for 'Second'. Sometimes I am in traffic and want to get around someone quickly so I shift from D to S. I notice the engine revs generally higher and Ive read S just spools up the turbo up quicker. You can definitely switch from D to S while driving, just don't do it while pedal to the floor.

Questions must have a definitive answer.Press J to jump to the feed. Anyone have advice on here? You can definitely switch from D to S while driving, just don't do it while pedal to the floor. But if i'm going say 30mph and start going down a steep hill, could i shift into 2 or 1 at that point?I accidentally did that once on the road. I didn't buy from them...

Ill switch into S when passing and then switch back to D because the car seems to maintain the higher speed in D longer than it does in S. I have no idea if this will cause any problems later down the line, but this is the reason I lease cars.
Must have been an oldie, back in the day that was the case. I didn't buy from them... Is it wise to take your foot off the gas before switching between D & S?I wouldn't make a habit of doing it with your foot flat to the floor a lot.

In other words, if you press the button while driving in a gear above third gear, it will automatically shift down to third gear.

Yes you can. Granted, this depends on the vehicle - your manual should tell you what the gear settings actually do.I have an automatic 2008 Mazda3. It's handy for towing and steep hills.Assuming you're talking about an automatic/standard, all it does is limit the highest gear it'll use.



It's useful for going up hills (car might get confused if you're going fast uphill, and shift to a high gear) or accelerating quickly when merging onto the highway from a slow on-ramp (low gear = higher revs = faster acceleration).From what i've understood from my research, the "3, 2, 1" in an automatic transmission just prevents the car from shifting to a higher gear than that.So if i set the transmission to "2" the car wont upshift into 3rd or 4th gear.This is apparently useful for when you are towing something/going up long inclines so the car doesn't overtax itself, or when in icy conditions, when you don't want the car going into high gear.I was never taught this, so i had no clue until i did some research.In most cars with a computer the setting is just a suggestion, what you would What i COULD NOT find, was information on whether it was safe to shift down into the other gears while the car is in motion.I just tried this out yesterday with my Jeep, holy shit at going down a steep hill with no brakes required!New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castReference questions answered here.

e.g.

revving the engine at high speed with very low wheel spinning, to provide maximum torque up hills and such.

Some cars also have an "overdrive" button that toggles between the "D" setting and a "3" setting. It doesn't change ratios.
One dealer I test drove at said the S was for 'Second'. In any modern car with multiple driving modes the change in modes is managed by the vehicle’s electronic control unit(s). does driving those harm, and specially shifting to D3 or D2 while driving on D. or you could only change shift when the car comes to complete stop.

I asked the dealership if it was bad for the Engine/CVT if i switch modes WHILE i'm driving but no one could answer the question.

For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. i test drive a focus st 2016 before buying my touring, dealer told me in test drive that the turbo icon in the focus dash that read -10 +20lbs ( turbo boost) was the G-force when taking curves and accelerating , i was lmao inside of me .... i got the hell out of there. Not much different than just flooring it anyway...I switch between D,S,L all the time.
