What does the S/L gear in an automatic transmission mean?

[MacSpencer]

S gear stands for Sport mode, while L gear stands for Low gear. The relevant introductions are as follows: 1. The S gear in an automatic transmission car is the Sport mode. The gear shifting speed is faster than in normal mode, which can make the car's power performance more aggressive, providing greater torque output and acceleration, but the fuel consumption will be relatively higher. 2. The L gear can be used when going down long slopes, allowing the car to use the engine power for braking. When going up slopes, it fully utilizes the car engine's torque for climbing. The L gear can limit the car's gear to only the low gear, so the driver does not need to press the brake for a long time, which could cause the brake pads to overheat and become dangerous.
