Understanding Ford's Innovative Automatic Transmission
Have you ever questioned why your Ford vehicle engine revs so quickly? Or are you wondering if you can manually switch gears even though your Ford vehicle has an automatic transmission? Rest assured, Ford has designed their vehicles keeping the diverse needs of the drivers in mind.
Apart from the 'Drive' mode, your Ford's automatic transmission includes two additional modes namely, 'Sport Mode' and 'Select Shift.' Depending on your drive type and driving style, you can choose to use them.
This article will guide you how to use these modes, their functionalities, and the exceptional service offered at our Ford dealership in the Texas cities of Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Kingsville, Sinton, Port Aransas, Ingleside, and Alice.
The Features Of Sport Mode And Select Shift
Sport Mode
The Sport Mode feature provides better handling and enhanced vehicle control for a more aggressive driving experience. Not only does it allow drivers to harness the full potential of their Ford vehicle, but it also offers extra braking on different road grades and facilitates using lower gears if you're traversing hilly or mountainous terrains.
In general, it's important to note that Sport Mode tends to shift at higher engine speeds compared to regular Drive Mode. As a result, drivers may observe their engine revving faster than usual. However, this should not be construed as a loss of power - in fact, it translates into a more responsive and dynamic drive.
Select Shift
The Select Shift feature is another impressive attribute of the Ford automatic transmission. It allows manual gear selection, enabling drivers to have more control over their vehicle's performance. It is as simple as setting your gear shift to the 'S' position and using the '+/-' toggle switches located on the gear shift to select gears. You can press '+' for upshifting, and '-' for downshifting.
Your Ford vehicle's engine will rev at varying speeds depending on the gear selected. However, to ensure vehicle safety and avoid damage to the engine or transmission, your Ford vehicle will automatically make certain shifts if the revolutions per minute (RPM) are too high or too low.
