What does the E gear in a car mean?

[VanBrody]

Car E gear is the power-saving mode, which is the energy recovery mode, also known as the fuel-saving mode. The following are related extended information: 1. P gear: When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. 2. N gear: The N position is equivalent to neutral gear, which can be used when starting, parking without leaving the car, or when towing. 3. D gear: During normal driving, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car can automatically shift between forward gears. D gear is the most commonly used gear. 4. S gear: This is the car's sport mode. In S gear mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high speeds for a longer time, allowing the car to move at low gears and high speeds for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. While the car is moving, simply push the gear lever into the "S" position. It is usually used for climbing hills or quickly overtaking. 5. L gear: This is the low forward gear. When going downhill or on long slopes, shifting into this position limits the car's gear to only low gears, allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill.
