What Does L Stand for in Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission L stands for low gear. When in L gear, the transmission will remain in first gear without shifting up. Using L gear on uphill sections or in poor road conditions can ensure the vehicle's passability. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. There are six gears in an automatic transmission car: P, R, N, D, S, and L. Driving an automatic transmission car only requires the use of parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D to meet general driving needs. If encountering some special driving environments, other functional gears will be needed.
