Hello,

I just bought Vitz 2008 and has following gears:

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

What does S and B mean n when to use them??
what is the difference between D S and B??


Thanks

S = Super
B = Badass.

Jk, I don't know what they mean, but

S = Thrid gear tops.
b = Second gear tops.

Ah the power of Google.

Search PRNDSB and you get several hits. This was the first hit in the list:

I wish we could get the CVT engine in Canada...

My first thought was Sport (higher revs) and Braking (engine breaking) as suggested by the forum thread referenced by WeeYari. Looks like I was right!

It's weird that some cars are very inconsistent as to what they have beyond the standard PRND, especially CVTs. The Prius has that weird "joystick" which includes B, but the Honda Insight has S with no B.
