What does the L in automatic transmission mean?

[OColeman]

Automatic transmission L refers to the low gear. When the L gear is engaged, the transmission is in 1st or 2nd gear, providing the vehicle with strong torque at a relatively low speed. The L gear is used in the following situations: 1. Climbing steep slopes; 2. Descending long slopes at low speed. An 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 include: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for backing up; 3. N (Neutral) for no gear engaged; 4. D (Drive) for forward movement; 5. S (Sport) for sport mode. The parking steps for an automatic transmission car are: 1. After stopping the vehicle, shift to P and engage the handbrake; 2. Press the start button to turn off the engine.
