What is the difference between L gear and S gear?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between the S gear and L gear in a car: L gear: L gear stands for Low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear restricts the car's transmission to the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car). This allows the car to use engine braking during descent, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and create a hazardous situation. S gear: S gear stands for Sport mode. When engaged, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for a longer period to enhance the car's power. Obviously, using this gear will result in increased fuel consumption.
