d gear is the drive gear, the transmission will automatically shift up and down according to the speed and load, and can shift up to the highest gear. s gear is generally only second gear, and L is first gear. The following is relevant information about automatic transmission: 1. Definition of automatic transmission: Automatic transmission refers to not needing to shift gears while driving, and its advantage over manual transmission is that it is easier to drive. 2.

I've been driving a taxi for fifteen years, and DSL gear is actually another name for low gear. When we're driving on mountain roads and encounter a long downhill slope, constantly pressing the brakes can make the brake pads smell burnt. At this point, shifting to DSL gear allows the engine to drag the speed, making it much safer. Nowadays, some new car models integrate this function into manual mode, but the principle is similar—locking in a low gear to increase engine RPM and using engine resistance to control speed. Last time I was driving on the Yun-Gui Expressway, a 20-kilometer-long downhill slope was handled entirely by this feature, not only saving the brakes but also making cornering more stable. If you're driving an automatic and encounter a steep slope or need engine braking, don't hesitate—just switch to this gear and you'll be fine.

What are the disadvantages of the Honda EX125?

The disadvantages of the Honda EX125 are as follows: Severe vehicle vibration: First, there is the issue of idle vibration. After driving for a while and then stopping, the vehicle exhibits noticeable shaking. Some owners have reported that their bike is the only one shaking at a red light, which can be quite embarrassing. Secondly, when the vehicle reaches higher speeds, resonance becomes a problem. Typically, once the speed exceeds 60 km/h, the resonance becomes obvious, and prolonged riding can cause hand numbness. Slippery stock tires: This has become a common issue with most Honda scooters. While the tires offer decent grip on normal roads, they tend to slip easily when rolling over white lines like zebra crossings. If the speed is high, the risk of tipping over is significant, so extra caution is advised when driving a new bike. Dim lighting: Although the headlight design of the Honda EX125 is stylish and uses LED bulbs, the illumination performance is still unsatisfactory. While it’s manageable on urban roads due to sufficient street lighting, riding on rural roads at night can be challenging, as it becomes difficult to clearly see the road ahead.

What is the reason for the digital speed display disappearing on the Sagitar dashboard?

Main reasons are as follows: Light damage: The dashboard light is damaged and needs to be replaced promptly; Circuit damage: The power supply circuit of the dashboard is damaged, resulting in an open circuit or short circuit, which can also cause the dashboard to not light up; Fuse blown: If the power supply fuse of the car dashboard is blown, it naturally results in no power supply, and the dashboard will not light up. Precautions for using the car dashboard: When the indicator light comes on: Immediately observe the odometer. If the accumulated mileage reaches or exceeds 100,000 km, the timing belt must be replaced. Otherwise, the timing belt may break, causing the engine to malfunction. After replacing the new timing belt: Remove the rubber cap covering the reset switch on the odometer dial, press the reset switch inside with a small round stick to turn off the timing belt indicator light. If the indicator light does not turn off after operating the reset switch, it may be due to a malfunctioning reset switch or a grounded circuit, and the fault should be inspected and resolved.
