1 Answers
The correct way to use the L gear is when going down or up long slopes. The gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom, are: P gear for parking, R gear for reverse, N gear for neutral, D gear for drive, S gear for sport mode, L gear for low speed, and OD gear for overdrive. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake to start the engine; 4. Warm up the car while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Slowly release the foot brake and gently press the accelerator to start smoothly.
