What is the usage method of D gear and L gear?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission's L gear is equivalent to manual transmission's first gear, which is used when high torque output is required, such as climbing particularly steep slopes. D gear, including all other gears, automatically controls gear shifting based on the amount of throttle applied. Automatic transmission cars have gears such as R gear, P gear, D gear, N gear, L gear, and S gear. The specific usage methods are as follows: 1. R gear: Used when reversing, also known as reverse gear. It is important to note that the car must come to a complete stop before shifting into R gear; 2. P gear: Used for parking, meaning the engine stops working, hence many people refer to this gear as the parking gear; 3. D gear: Primarily used for driving the car forward, known as the drive gear, it is the basic gear of automatic transmission cars; 4. N gear: Similar to the neutral gear in manual transmissions, with no difference in principle. It can be used when encountering a red light ahead while driving; 5. L gear: A low gear used for uphill driving or overtaking; 6. S gear: Represents sport mode, allowing free switching among all gears.
