What does Kia kx5 display sport mean?

S gear

S gear is the sports mode of the car ("S is the abbreviation of "sport"). Many automatic cars are equipped with S gear, and some high-end A-class cars are equipped with S gear. The model also has an S gear design. In the S gear sports mode, the gearbox can shift freely, but the gear shifting time will be delayed, keeping the engine at high speed for a longer period of time, allowing the car to travel in low gear and high speed for a longer period of time. In order to obtain greater torque output and acceleration. Operation and use:

While the car is moving, just push the gear lever into the "S" gear, which is usually used when climbing hills and quickly overtaking. Interpretation of misunderstandings:

The latest statistics show that every 5 people own a private car. While cars are widely entering ordinary families, the popularization of car knowledge has become more and more important. Many car owners, especially female car owners, because If you don’t understand cars, you often make many jokes in your daily life, just like these misunderstandings about S gear. In fact, S gear is what we call sports.

In S gear sports mode, the gearbox can be used. Free shifting, but the shifting time will be delayed, allowing the engine to maintain a high speed for a longer period of time, instantly outputting large torque, making the vehicle more powerful. Generally speaking, ordinary automatic transmission or CVT models will keep the speed at a high speed. Around 2000 rpm, and when in S gear, the gear shift timing is usually delayed until the engine is running best. If the vehicle has paddle shifters, the speed will reach the red zone.

Use S. When in gear, due to the increase in speed, the engine's fuel injection volume changes and becomes stronger. At the same time, the suspension becomes stiffer than usual, so the roll will be reduced when cornering, and the brakes will not nod as much. The comfort is worse in mode.

From this point of view, S gear is neither a "climbing gear" nor a "downhill gear" as netizens call it, nor is it a so-called "snow mode". The hill-climbing and downhill gears refer to the L gear of some cars with automatic manual transmissions, which change the engine power output through manual downshifting, thereby increasing the power.
