Use of word

AnonymousIs it 'in or on?

in

But what does it mean?

Some cars allow you to override the automatic settings for engine performance, steering, and suspension to give you more acceleration in lower gears and a better feel for the road. Probably just a gimmick for most cars.

Thanks, teacher. It means exactly what deart explained.

Would the word 'to' be correct if I used 'turn' instead of 'put'? (Turn the car's gear to sport mode)

'Turn' seems very wrong.

Not least because gears turn. The driver activates sports mode with a button or a rocker switch.

So do you mean that 'turn' is possible? (turn the car's gear to sports mode) If so, is 'to' correct in the sentence?

Mister Micawber'Turn' seems very wrong.

Strong as in it does not convey the correct message, maybe?

Wrong in that it is the wrong word choice.

I wonder whether the verb "switch" would be more suitable here (...to switch the car gear into the sports mode).
