When to use S and B gears in Belta 1.3

Hi,
I have Toyota Belta 1.3 2SZ-FE, 2006 model, 2012. I have imported this car.
I want to get information about when to use S and B gears. Actually, I can’t understand it. I have not used them so far.
Supposedly I am going on a mountain road, uphill, which gear to use? and when coming downhill then which gear to use?
Thanks all.

S is for sport. If youre 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.
