What gear should be used for automatic transmission when wading through water?
1 Answers
For shallow water, the D gear is sufficient, while for deep water, the L gear should be engaged. Additional information: 1. D gear: Drive gear, also known as the forward gear. This gear is used when moving forward. 2. Low gear: This gear can be used to start and move forward when climbing a steep slope or starting on a significantly inclined slope. Principle: Engaging this gear restricts the car's gear to automatically switch only between low gears (equivalent to first and second gears in a manual transmission car), ensuring the car obtains maximum forward power. 3. L gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, this gear restricts the car's gear to automatically stay in the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car), allowing the car to use engine power for braking during descent. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and lead to danger.
