The Enclave should shift to L1 gear when going uphill. The L1 gear is mainly used for short-distance climbing, such as escaping from difficult situations or exiting underground parking lots. For long-distance uphill climbs, the gear can be increased according to the current speed. Introduction to L gear: The L gear is a type of gear included in some automatic transmission models, generally located at the last position on the gear shift console, behind the D gear. Its purpose is to impose restrictions on the car's transmission gear, allowing the vehicle to obtain sufficient power or traction. Function of L gear: The L gear is the low-speed gear, which limits speed. When this gear is engaged while going uphill, it maintains a state of high RPM and low gear, thereby providing the car with ample power. When engaged while going downhill, it also prevents the car from accelerating uncontrollably.
