    • Brake (B)A mode selectable on some Toyota models. In non-hybrid cars, this mode lets the engine do compression braking, also known as engine braking, typically when encountering a steep downhill. Instead of engaging the brakes, the engine in a non-hybrid car switches to a lower gear and slows down the spinning tires. The engine holds the car back, instead of the brakes slowing it down. For hybrid cars, this mode converts the electric motor into a generator for the battery. It is not the same as downshifting in a non-hybrid car, but it has the same effect in slowing the car without using the brakes. GM called this HR (hill retarder) and GR (grade retarder) in the 1950s.


    S has 2 possibilities

    • Second (2 or S)This mode limits the transmission to the first two gear ratios, or locks the transmission in second gear on Ford, Kia, and Honda models. This can be used to drive in adverse conditions such as snow and ice, as well as climbing or going down hills in the winter time. Some vehicles will automatically shift up out of second gear in this mode if a certain RPM range is reached in order to prevent engine damage. Although traditionally considered second gear, there are other names used. Chrysler models with a three-speed automatic since the late 1980s have called this gear 3 while using the traditional names for Drive and Low.
    • S or SportThis is commonly described as 'Sport mode'. It operates in an identical manner as 'D' mode, except that the upshifts change much higher up the engine's rev range. This has the effect on maximising all the available engine output, and therefore enhances the performance of the vehicle, particularly during acceleration. This mode will also downchange much higher up the rev range compared to 'D' mode, maximising the effects of engine braking. This mode will have a detrimental effect on fuel economy. Hyundai has a Norm/Power switch next to the gearshift for this purpose on the Tiburon. GM also used S to indicate a "super" mode, being the same as the 2 position on a Chrysler, shifting between only first and second gears.


    Dont use B or S for general driving as both are very low on fuel efficiency.

    In which gear i need to drive ? D or S ?
    Because when i drive in D ,Car don't have good pickup and not respond to accelerator on time.But in S car respond to accelerator on time and have good pickup speed.

    I'm wondering which gear to drive, D or S .
    When i'm driving in D it show eco light on ..But when driving in S it's not showing eco light..

    Drive in D.

    S is for low speeds with quick pickup.
    S is not economical. Thats why the eco light is off.

    Use B when you're climbing down steep hills and needs to slow down without overheating the brakes.

    axio gear shift



    if this is your gear box, then 'S' does not mean sports.

    'S' - Only use when to go up hill.

    'B' - Only use when to go down hill.

    that's it, simple.
