What does the L gear in Civic mean?
1 Answers
The L gear in Civic is the low gear. After shifting into L gear, the transmission can maintain a relatively low gear without upshifting. Below is an introduction to the S gear and L gear in Civic: 1. S gear: S gear is the sport mode of the car. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. 2. L gear: L gear refers to the low gear mode of the transmission. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into L gear can limit the car's gear to only low gear, enabling the car to use engine power for braking during descent. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for a long time, which could cause the brake pads to overheat and lead to danger.
