When to Use the L Gear in Honda Cars?
1 Answers
Here is relevant information about the L gear in Honda cars: 1. When going downhill: Engage the L gear, which limits the transmission to low gear (usually first gear). This allows you to utilize engine braking to control vehicle speed, reducing brake load, minimizing the risk of brake fade, and enhancing driving safety. For models without an L gear, manual mode can be used for downhill driving if available. 2. When climbing steep slopes: The L gear can be selected to maintain low gear operation, preventing frequent gear shifts. This provides stronger climbing power and also protects the transmission.
