How to Use L Gear Correctly?

[McKiara]

L stands for Low, and L gear is the low-speed gear. L gear can be used when going up or down steep slopes. After shifting into L gear, the transmission will remain in a lower gear without upshifting, and the wheel torque will increase at low gear, which is more conducive to climbing. When going downhill, shifting into low gear can utilize engine braking to slow down the car. The usage methods of automatic transmission gears are as follows: 1. P gear is the parking gear. When the vehicle is stationary, it should be shifted into P gear to prevent misoperation or rolling downhill. 2. N gear is the neutral gear. Pressing the accelerator in neutral has no effect, and it is used for temporary parking. 3. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. Reversing means the vehicle moves backward in terms of physical position. 4. D gear is the drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving forward. Pressing the accelerator in this gear will make the vehicle move forward. 5. L gear is the low-speed gear, which is a transmission gear used when climbing slopes or needing to overtake quickly.
