In automatic transmission vehicles, the S gear stands for Sport mode, and the L gear stands for Low gear. Below is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. P gear: P stands for Parking gear. When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. 2. R gear: R stands for Reverse gear. 3. N gear: N stands for Neutral gear. The N gear can be used when starting the car, parking without leaving the vehicle, or when towing. 4. D gear: D stands for Drive gear. When driving normally, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car will automatically shift between forward gears. The D gear is the most commonly used gear. 5. S gear: The S gear is the Sport mode of the car, typically used for climbing hills and rapid acceleration. 6. L gear: The L gear refers to the Low gear mode of the transmission. It is most effective in heavy traffic conditions and on steep slopes. When going up or down a slope, it allows full utilization of the car engine's torque.

How to Repair High Fuel Consumption in Changan Honor?

When the tire pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area between the tire and the road surface increases, friction rises, rolling resistance increases, and fuel consumption naturally becomes higher. If the vehicle carries heavy loads for a long time, the increased weight of the vehicle will raise the driving pressure, leading to higher fuel consumption. Clogged fuel injectors can significantly affect their performance, which also results in increased fuel consumption.
