Please help me understand 2008 Vitz gear meanings

[qasimmansoor]

Hello,

My Vitz 2008 has following gears:

P (parking)
R (reverse)
N (neutral)
D (drive)
S ??
B ??

What does S and B mean n when to use them??

Thanks

[mubeenshahid]

S means only 2 gears.it locks the car in 1st two gears.
i dont knowabout B

[ayaz4734147]

ithink B means lower only first gear for hilly areas

[ali3611]

S...defined by mubeen shahid..
B stands for boost...
if u wanna exsert sum power..to wheels...hilly areas ...specaily

[qasimmansoor]

anyone who can guide me properly??

[faheemboy]

look s is for when u are climbing the hills and b when u are coming down the hills

[khahsan]

you should ideally shift to S when you cross 100 kmph. Another view on this ''S'' gear is for sporty driving overall when you can use a surge of fuel for higher acceleration.
'B' is for driving in hilly areas on rather steep & continous inclines & declines.

Dear All

In Vitz/Yaris

S = Second - The vehicle uses only first two gears for going uphill and this is RPM/Speed dependent i.e increasing the speed to a certain speed or to RPM its shifts up to "D"

B = Brake - exclusively for downhill journeys without using brakes; this allows the engine to break the speeds and to minimize the use of brakes

Well explained Mr. KrusH

My Vitz 2000 has following gears:

P (parking)
R (reverse)
N (neutral)
D (drive)
2 ??
L ??

What does 2 and L mean n when to use them??

S is like overdrive option in other automatic cars cars. like when u want to go above 100 km/h

[chinyoti]

2 L
b S are the same things.

Previusly it was (P/R/N/D/2/L)
Now its (P/R/N/D/S/B)

Poster,

B Gear gives you maximum braking, you have high control on brakes it is especially designed for Hilly area & Mountain ranges. Because normal D Gear will have continous shifting according to accelerator. I used B Gear last month when i went to Muree, trust me the control on braking is extra-ordinary.

S Gear will give you super drive, when you need acceleration without interruption of gear shifting. For example you need it while you are overtaking or having race.

Trust me, I really enjoyed its driving in S Gear when i want a super drive with heavy acceleration. Because this is only missing element of this machine.

Everything i mentioned above is according to my humber knowledge.

Regards

B means bo(H)st it is fr hilly areas like murree.its gives boost to the car..n used fr better acceleration ... i use it under 80 km/h..

S means super drive its fr high speed above 100 km/h it gives much more power than D on high speed ...i have switched to it many times after 110 km/h on highway n car goes quickly to 140 150 km/h...

i recently bought the automatic vitz 2008.. this thread has helped me alot.. as i always had a manual shift car...

quick question:
so when we are driving normally in D... can you shift between S and B while driving .. or we have to use the brakes first??

[maroofzaidi]

S does not means only 2 gears...
S" is for sport. If you're driving on twisty country roads and want to keep the RPM up as you wind through corners, the "S" position is where you want to be. In "S", the transmission holds lower gears longer for more power as you come out of the curves.

The "B" position favors lower gears, too, but for a totally different purpose. Just as you might shift a conventional transmission to Low on a long downhill grade; you can shift into the "B" position to increase engine drag and help slow the car while coasting down a hill.

S is different in different vehicles. like in my vehicle P,R,N,D,S.
in this S is for sports. in S mode I can shift gears up and down with buttons placed on gear lever.

S is always for sports, these vehicles have cvt, no physical gears. S turns of all the eco systems and increases the fuel intake to the engine. B, like many other mentioned, is used to hold the engine while coming downhill

S is secondary and B is braking mode.
