What is the L gear in a car?
1 Answers
On a car, the L stands for the hill-climbing gear, also known as the low-speed gear. The L gear is only available in automatic transmission cars. To use it, simply shift the gear lever to the L position. The L gear allows the car to use engine power for braking when going down long slopes and makes full use of the engine's torque for climbing uphill. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button directly; 2. Press the brake and then the start button to ignite and start the engine; 3. Release the foot brake and let the car warm up in place; 4. Press the brake again and shift to D gear; 5. Release the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake to start moving.
