The Functions of S Gear and L Gear in the Tenth Generation Accord
1 Answers
The functions of S gear and L gear in the tenth generation Accord are as follows: 1. L gear, low gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear limits the car's automatic gear shifting to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and create a dangerous situation. 2. S gear, sport mode: When shifting into this gear, the transmission can switch gears freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a period to increase the car's power. Obviously, using this gear will result in higher fuel consumption.
