CR-V should use L gear when climbing a steep slope, because L gear is specifically designed for climbing, while S gear is the sport mode, suitable for acceleration and overtaking. Introduction to L gear: The English meaning of L gear is LOW, indicating low speed, so L gear is a low-speed forward gear. Shifting from D gear to L gear does not require stopping or pressing the brake; it can be done while driving. Once in L gear, the transmission will only switch between 1st and 2nd gears, and no matter how hard you press the accelerator, it will not shift to 3rd gear or higher. Introduction to S gear: When the car is in S gear, it can shift freely, but there will be a delay during the shifting process. As a result, the engine will maintain high RPMs for a longer time, leading to increased fuel consumption. However, this also provides greater torque output, which is typically used during overtaking.
