What Does B Gear Mean?
1 Answers
B is the abbreviation for the English word 'brake', meaning braking. The B gear can be understood as the braking gear. Here are some related introductions about the B gear: 1. This braking is not directly applied to the brake pedal but uses the engine to restrain the vehicle. 2. It is used on continuous long downhill sections. If you keep pressing the brake and descend in D gear, almost all the braking pressure is borne by the brake, and prolonged braking can cause the brake pads to overheat, leading to brake failure. Here are the functions of the B gear: 1. After shifting to B gear, the transmission is restricted by the lock mechanism to the low gears of 1-2. 2. It utilizes the engine's braking effect, allowing the vehicle to use low gear to relieve most of the pressure on the brakes. 3. The B gear is similar to the L gear. It can be used for starting on steep slopes, providing the effect of low speed and high torque.
