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.

What Are the Techniques for Turning While Driving on the Road?

Turning on streets or at gate entrances: The driver should pay attention to debris piled up on the roadside, reduce speed within 50 to 100 meters, honk the horn, and indicate the direction of travel using turn signals or hand gestures; 3. Turning at intersections: When turning left, the driver should signal in advance and stay as close to the center of the road as possible to facilitate vehicles behind and those turning right.
