How to Shift from D to L Gear in Sylphy?
2 Answers
The method to shift from D to L gear in Sylphy is as follows: 1. When driving at low speed, you can directly shift from D to L gear without stepping on the brake. Simply push the gear lever, press the shift button, or toggle the shift paddle. 2. When driving at high speed, such as around 80 km/h, shifting directly from D to L gear will cause the RPM to rise immediately, which can cause significant damage to the engine and transmission. It is advisable to step on the brake to reduce speed before shifting from D to L gear. Additional information: The Sylphy adopts Nissan's new design language in its exterior, making the overall appearance much sportier than the previous generation. The front face design is lower and more aggressive, with a V-shaped grille connecting the LED headlights on both sides, creating a strong visual impact. The design concept shares similarities with the Teana, hence it is nicknamed 'Little Teana'.
When I drive my Sylphy, shifting to L gear is quite simple. Just pull down directly from the D gear position to L gear while the vehicle is moving, and the car will automatically switch without needing to press the brake. Remember to operate smoothly and not too forcefully, and it's safer to keep the speed below 40 km/h. Shifting too fast might damage the transmission. L gear is a low gear, which I often use when climbing steep slopes or going down long slopes. The engine braking becomes stronger, helping to control speed and avoid excessive wear on the brake discs. Never shift to L gear when driving on highways; just stay in D. The Sylphy's design is quite user-friendly, with clear gear positions and indicator lights to guide you. New drivers can get familiar with it after practicing a few times. Developing the habit of using L gear in appropriate scenarios can save fuel and extend the lifespan of parts. Always pay attention to the dashboard feedback while driving to ensure everything is normal.
