What are the 2 and L gears in the Elantra automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Here is an introduction to the 2 and L gears in the Elantra automatic transmission: 1. 2nd gear: Low gear. It can be used to start and move forward when climbing a very steep slope or starting on a relatively steep incline. The principle is that by shifting to this gear, the car's transmission is restricted to automatically switch only between low gears (equivalent to first and second gears in a manual transmission car), ensuring the car obtains maximum forward power. 2. L gear: Low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear restricts the car's transmission to automatically stay in the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
