When should the L gear in Honda CR-V be used?

[HaydenFitz]

L stands for Low, meaning low gear. The L gear can be used when going down or up long slopes, or when the vehicle requires greater torque. Usage when climbing steep slopes: When climbing relatively steep slopes, greater torque is needed, and the L gear can be used at this time to increase wheel torque. Usage when descending steep slopes: When descending relatively steep slopes, relying solely on the braking system to slow down is not advisable, as this may cause the braking system to overheat and fail. In such cases, the L gear comes into play. After shifting into the L gear, the engine will remain in a lower gear without upshifting, allowing the car to use engine braking to slow down.
