What is the L gear? What is its function?

[LaDonovan]

L is the low gear, also known as the climbing gear. Its function is to limit the low gear to increase torque and engine braking. Below are the uses of the L gear and an introduction to other gears: Uses of the L gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to the L gear restricts the car's gear to automatically stay in the low gear. This allows the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brakes for extended periods, which could lead to overheating of the brake pads and potential hazards. Introduction to other gears: In addition to the L gear, automatic transmission vehicles with continuously variable transmissions (CVT) typically have P, R, N, D, and S gears. Among these, P is the parking gear, R is the reverse gear, N is the neutral gear, D is the drive gear, and S is the sport gear.
