What does the S/L gear in an automatic transmission represent?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission, the S stands for Sport mode, while the L represents Low gear. The functions of the S gear are: 1. In this mode, the vehicle's power performance is enhanced, commonly used for overtaking, uphill driving, descending long slopes, traffic congestion, and clearing carbon deposits; 2. The transmission can shift gears freely. When the vehicle is in L gear, the transmission will switch between the low gears, 1st and 2nd. An automatic transmission vehicle does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission vehicle include: 1. P gear for Parking; 2. R gear for Reverse; 3. N gear for Neutral; 4. D gear for Drive; 5. M gear for Manual mode; 6. L gear for Low gear; 7. S gear for Sport mode.
