They stand for 1st and 2nd gear. Using them automatically keeps the car in that gear.

The other gears are there for helping the automatic transmission in climbing and going down hills. If you down shift going down a hill, it will keep the car from going too fast. This works well if you are pulling a load behind the car. Mainly they help the engine. When in a lower gear, it doesn't use too much power.
I would suggest refraining from using those gears unless needed. See your user manual also.

It means the same thing as a standard auto mobile. 1st gear and 2nd gear. Some even have a 3rd gear. If the shifter is on one of those numbers the car will not shift out of those gears until you put it in the D for drive.

First off you shouldnt be driving if you dont know what all the gears are for! Anyhow the 1 and 2 and lower ratio forward driving gears, they are hardly ever used in most automatic vehicles. The most common use is for driving whislt towing or driving in poor tractions conditions, snow, ice mud rain etc etc. There is typically an overdrive on most automatics also which again is a gearing ratio! Thats it!

i could giggle but it is surprising how many people don't know. 1 is first gear only and 2 is first and second gear.
