What does the L gear mean in the Cruze?

[Alexa]

L stands for LOW, meaning low speed, typically used for uphill and downhill driving or slow-speed situations. Below is an introduction to the Cruze gear positions: 1. P (Parking) - Parking gear, starting gear: When the vehicle is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The vehicle must be completely stopped before engaging P gear; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) - Reverse gear: Used when reversing. Never force the gear into "R" before the vehicle has come to a complete stop, as this may severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) - Neutral gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). This position indicates neutral. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always apply the brake. 4. D (Drive) - Drive gear: Used for normal road driving. 5. L (LOW) - Low-speed mode: Typically used for uphill and downhill driving or slow-speed situations.
