    Hi guys,

    A lot of q's here:

    Is it okay to shift from D (Drive) to S (Sports Mode) then gear up to 6 then go back to drive when you are about to stop or if you just want to?

    or you drive starting to Sports Mode to reach the 6th gear?

    okay thanks.

    follow up q's: won't it damage the tranny if you kept on doing that?

    hi guys, newbie here just bought Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS 2012 and I want to ask if how to use Sports Mode? I always been using the drive 'D' and haven't tried using + or - Sports Mode, anyone can give me an idea when will you use the Sports Mode in any given scenario/circumstances?

    Downhill for engine braking.
    Uphill to be in the proper gear best suited for the incline.

    The sports mode on the Tucson essentially allows you to shift it like a manual transmission.
