What is the difference between Honda's L gear and S gear?

2 Answers

Here is an introduction to Honda's L gear and S gear: 1. L gear: The L gear is the low-gear mode of the transmission. When going downhill or on long slopes, the L gear is usually engaged. This restricts the transmission to automatically stay in low gears, allowing the car to use engine braking when descending hills. This means the driver doesn't need to press the brake pedal continuously, and it also helps avoid the danger caused by overheated brake pads. The L gear can play a significant role in heavy traffic congestion and on steep slopes. 2. S gear: The "S" in S gear stands for "Sport," making the S gear the sport mode. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, and it delays shifting by maintaining higher RPMs to achieve greater torque and better acceleration performance. While driving, the gear can be directly shifted to S gear, which is typically used for climbing hills, highway driving, and quick acceleration.

Speaking of the L and S gears in Honda cars, as a veteran driver with 10 years of Honda experience who often drives on mountain roads, I can tell you that L gear stands for Low gear. It’s mainly used for steep uphill or downhill driving, limiting the transmission from shifting too high and maintaining low RPMs. The engine assists with braking, protecting the brake system. S gear, on the other hand, is Sport mode. Switching to it makes the car much more responsive, with quicker acceleration, delayed gear shifts, higher RPMs, and a strong push-back feeling—perfect for overtaking or when you want some spirited driving. On flat roads, D gear is usually the go-to for fuel efficiency and convenience. The differences are clear: L gear is steady and safe, while S gear is thrilling and powerful. L gear is especially useful in rainy conditions or on slopes, preventing unintended sliding. S gear performs best on highways or open roads, but be mindful of higher fuel consumption—don’t waste gas by using it unnecessarily. Overall, Honda’s design is truly smart, catering to different driving needs effectively.

Where is the license plate number Lu W from?

Previously, staff members of provincial-level authorities in Jinan used to have Lu W license plates. Around the end of 2016, the issuance and registration of "Lu W" license plates were discontinued. Currently, they have all been canceled and replaced with Lu A plates. The specific details are as follows: 1. According to relevant laws and regulations, starting from October 2018, Shandong completely abolished the "Lu 0" and "Lu W" license plates, and all license plate replacements were completed by December 31. From January 1, 2019, vehicle owners who did not replace their "Lu O" or "Lu W" license plates would face penalties and be held accountable. 2. At the same time, the Shandong traffic police department organized a concentrated road enforcement campaign to confiscate vehicles continuing to use "Lu O" or "Lu W" license plates, imposing penalties in accordance with laws and regulations, and reporting the individuals and their vehicles to their respective units and disciplinary inspection and supervision departments. Official vehicles of provincial-level authorities had "Lu O" license plates, while private vehicles of provincial-level authorities had "Lu W" license plates.

How long is the first maintenance period for a new Volkswagen Bora?

Volkswagen Bora's first maintenance for a new car is due at six months or 7,500 kilometers, whichever comes first.

What Causes Engine Oil Leaks?

There are many reasons for engine oil leaks, which can directly affect a vehicle's technical performance, leading to wastage of lubricants and fuel, power loss, and environmental pollution. The main causes of engine oil leaks are as follows: 1. Excessive oil addition, high oil levels, or using the wrong oil type account for the most significant proportion of oil leak causes. 2. Uneven tightening force or loosening of various fastening nuts on the vehicle, leading to operational failure. Regular inspections are necessary to avoid such oil leak issues. 3. To save costs, some customers may opt for cheaper car parts, but poor-quality materials, inferior craftsmanship, and improper structural design are high-risk factors for oil leaks. 4. Blocked vent plugs or one-way valves can cause leaks at weak sealing points. This type of oil leak is more technical and difficult to detect without professional diagnostic tools from a 4S shop. 5. Vehicle aging is another major cause of oil leaks. Prolonged use of sealing materials leads to excessive wear, aging, deterioration, and deformation failure.

What Does an Engine Maintenance Checklist Include?

Engine maintenance includes the following parts: Mechanical Section: Generally includes one set of intake and exhaust valves, one set of piston rings, one set of cylinder liners (4 pieces for a 4-cylinder engine), two thrust washers, and four pistons. Cooling System Section: Generally includes the water pump, upper and lower engine hoses, large circulation metal pipe, small circulation rubber hose, and throttle body hose. Fuel Section: Generally includes upper and lower oil rings for the fuel injectors, fuel filter; Ignition Section: Check high-voltage lines for swelling or leakage and replace if necessary, spark plugs. Intake Section: Generally includes the air filter; Other auxiliary materials generally include coolant, engine oil, oil filter, carburetor cleaner, and engine metal cleaner or all-purpose cleaner. Components to be Inspected: Generally includes checking the cylinder head for corrosion or unevenness, crankshaft, camshaft, timing belt tensioner, timing belt adjustment pulley, timing belt, external engine belt and adjustment pulley, rocker arms or rocker arm shafts. If equipped with hydraulic lifters, additional inspection of hydraulic lifters is required.

How to Repair Coolant Leakage?

Coolant leakage can be caused by various reasons, and repairs should be carried out based on the specific situation: 1. If the car has been used for a long time, rubber pipes and sealing rings may age, leading to coolant leakage. In this case, it is necessary to inspect and replace the damaged components and replenish the coolant in time. 2. Radiator leakage is also a common cause of coolant leakage. Intense vibrations during driving or collisions may cause cracks at the radiator's welding points or looseness at the connections. In such cases, the leakage point should be inspected and repaired, or the radiator may need to be replaced if necessary. Here is some relevant information: 1. Regularly check the coolant level. If the coolant level is found to be below the minimum mark, it should be replenished promptly. If coolant leakage is detected, the best approach is to take the car to a professional repair shop for targeted repairs based on the specific cause of the leakage. 2. Coolant usually has a color and feels slippery to the touch. The color is mainly to distinguish it from other liquids and to make it easier to determine if there is a leakage.
