Can an automatic transmission car start in L gear?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car can start in L gear, but it is not practical in actual driving. The true purpose of the L gear is to use it when going uphill or downhill, preventing the vehicle from adjusting gears based on speed, which is a safer way to descend. When using the L gear, the vehicle's power will not be very strong. When descending a steep slope or climbing, the engine gear will be limited to L gear, and no matter how much the accelerator is pressed, the gear will not increase, making it very safe for uphill and downhill driving. However, it is not recommended to use the L gear during normal vehicle starts, as it consumes more fuel and is not suitable for regular driving.
