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).

Is the Smell of a New Car Formaldehyde?

The smell of a new car is not just formaldehyde. About 90% of new cars have a certain odor, and most of them exceed the standard levels of gases like formaldehyde. Methods to remove formaldehyde: 1. Open windows frequently for ventilation. Formaldehyde is related to temperature—higher temperatures lead to higher concentrations, so parking the car in direct sunlight can help; 2. Use bamboo charcoal bags. Bamboo charcoal has a porous structure with strong adsorption capacity, which can absorb harmful gases like formaldehyde, benzene, and sulfur dioxide inside the car; 3. In-car air purifiers can filter the air inside the vehicle, effectively removing pollutants like PM2.5, toxic gases, odors, bacteria, and viruses, but windows must be closed during use; 4. Photocatalysts, similar to regular air fresheners, are liquid-based with titanium dioxide as the main component. When exposed to ultraviolet light from sunlight or artificial sources, they react to produce substances that can break down organic compounds and their nutrients.
