What are the L gears in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
L--Low, low gear. When going downhill or on long slopes, shifting to this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission), allowing the engine to assist in braking. This prevents the brake pads from overheating due to prolonged braking, reducing the risk of danger. Below is an introduction to the various gears in an automatic transmission: 1. P--Parking, parking gear. 2. R--Reverse gear, used for reversing. 3. N--Neutral, neutral gear. 4. D--Drive, the forward gear. 5. 2--Low gear. 6. L--Low, low gear. 7. OD----Overdrive gear, used for high-speed driving to achieve fuel efficiency.
