(D) normal driving
(S) sport mode. It just holds the cars engine speed at higher rpms for quicker response.
(B) low gear ratio which can be used to the get car started moving up hill but u can't go very fast on it. A safe speed is like 30mph and this can also help you to slow down at highway speed.
It's normal for the car making a lot of engine noise due to its trying to keep enough power to go a hill.

That is going to be a common complaint with vehicles in this price range, especially those equipped with CVT's. It is just trying to make the most of its Briggs and Stratton sized engine in a 2800-2900lb car by keeping the engine in its powerband. Cars in this price range with the exception of the Focus are also built to a strict price and thus sound deadening related things are sacrificed.
betzy is smart she's rite ''d'' is drive and echo is a fancy overdrive and s is like low 2 just like the older auto transmissions so on hills leave it in drive and give it the meat! (gas) so if you want to take off fast or rip around use s mode and put in d mode at 40 mph or so I wouldn't drive around in ''s''/ low 2 ! unless you have a spare $8000.00 for a transmission when the warranty is canceled because the check the data and it shows you abused the vehicle !
