My car didnt come with a car manual so I was wondering what does the L represent under the D in the automatic shifter. In my other cars it was a S and it drove more sporty?

 

L stands for "low" gear. Put the gear shifter there and the car will stay in 1st gear.

 

Lightning Mode. How could you buy a TL and not try Lightning Mode?

 

^^^ haha, thats a good one.

 

Lesbian mode....
Watch two lesbians pop out of the trunk and make out with each other in the back seat.
unfortunately, you cant join them.

 

Well that's a bitch.

Actually, they are bitches

 

The '04-'06 5A will shift automatically from 1st to 2nd gear, even in Low. However, selecting "L" will not permit a shift to 3d gear or higher.

 

wait, arent they supposed to be in the kitchen?

 

From the 2008 Owner's Manual...

Low (L) - When you move the shift lever to this position, the transmission shifts to the lowest gear that can be selected without exceeding the engine redline. At normal speeds, it selects third gear. As the vehicle slows, it selects second gear at about 56 mph (90 km/h), and first gear at about 29 mph (47 km/h). Accelerating in first gear, the transmission upshifts to second gear at about 37 mph (59 km/h). You must move the shift lever to D for the transmission to upshift to third gear. On Type S, at closed throttle, it selects second gear at about 61 mph (98 km/h), and first gear at about 37 mph (59 km/h).

 

very interesting....so in a sense, it can be used for racing?

 

Lollipop mode... Your gear shifter turns into a blow pop, love me some SSM gum

 

it's better just to use the Sport Shift mode by bumping it over to the left and using the paddles or the shifter

 

I thought it was established that just flat footing it in D was quicker 1/4 times...
