Hello,

What is the D-S transmission in vitz 2007, when you shift the gear right it goes it "S" and on shifting it to left it goes to "D", i normally drive on "D" but not sure whats the purpose of "S"?

so may people have new vitz!

i think it is triptronic

its used for engine braking, like we use low gears for braking in our manual cars.

Over driving is not possible in this S mode.

what you mean by over drive, for example if i switch to "S" then gear ratios will be long?

and with "D" it will be normal drive?

Patience my dear, patience

D is for drive with max gears available I think Vitz 07 is 4 forward and S (can be named slow) drives the car in 3 forward, then there is B (it should be named braking/brakes) and gives you 2 forward. Don't drive for too long on S and B the gear box heats up and may cause permanent damage (read manual or download from net)

in manual which you have posted earlier, the transmission diagram, doesn't correspond to the gears that i have in my new 07'vitz

This one has only 3 gears and "d and s are side by side"

its the same like yours .... 3=S and second difference is that its for left hand drive thats why 3 becomes outwards side.
functionality is the same.
