What is the function of the L gear?
1 Answers
The function of the L gear is to limit the range of automatic gear shifting, increase torque, and output greater torque. Situations for using the L gear include: 1. When climbing a steep slope, you can choose the L gear, which will limit the vehicle to lower gears, preventing frequent gear shifts and making the vehicle more powerful when climbing, while also protecting the transmission; 2. When driving in snowy conditions, switching to the L gear can maintain the vehicle between 1st and 2nd gears, preventing excessive fuel consumption and vehicle wear. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).
