Low gear.
This is normally only on a CVT-type automatic transmission, which doesn't have fixed gears (although some now have fake fixed gears to allow a manual mode, eg. Audi Multitronic, Fiat, MG). Most traditional automatics have a positions labelled 1, 2, and 3, which restrict it to the lower 1, 2, or 3 ratios.
It is for when you want engine braking - eg. going down a steep hill, or tight manoeuvring at low speeds.

Low. ie First gear!
When you are going up hill your car will choose this by itself. When you are going down a steep hill, you can select this gear and it will act like a break - stop you going too fast. Don't select this and your car will automatically go up through the gears and your gear box will have no breaking effect.

Low gear, keeps the car in low gears, used for going up or down steep inclines.
