Hi Folks,

I have a new CRV and the gearshift has an "S" slot/mode. The manual tells me that driving mode makes the vehicle a bit peppier (responsive).

My question is, how does it do that? What changes in the engine/transmission/final drive?

TIA

 

Sport mode is mostly a change to the throttle response curve along with channeling some fake motor noise into the cabin. It will also alter the "shifting" of the engine and electric motors to simulate a manual transmission. It is best experienced with a heavy foot on the throttle pedal.

 

"S" mode is Sport mode. It makes the engine more responsive to the throttle. It also makes the fuel economy go down.

 

Thanks!

 

Sort of like mashing down harder on the gas pedal and going unnnn.......unnnnnnn .......unnnn.

 

It also lowers the gearing some.

 

Thanks.
