1 Answers
Automatic transmission car's L gear refers to the low gear. When shifting into L gear, the transmission is in 1st or 2nd gear, providing the vehicle with strong torque at a relatively low speed. Situations for using L gear include: 1. Climbing steep slopes; 2. Descending long slopes at low speed. Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Other gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. P gear is the parking gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode. The parking steps for an automatic transmission car are: 1. After stopping the vehicle, shift to P gear and pull up the handbrake; 2. Press the start button.
