But what about the other letters? I've been driving for 17 years now, but I've never known what they were for & have always wondered & figured some nice person on this site would tell me.
Thanks! =)

those 2 gear selections can be used for extra traction in ice and snow. If ur stopped on an icy road, and u try to start moving but slip, try shifting from D into L or 2 and u'll get more traction from the start

"L" means lazy and "2" means too fast! No, seriously, "L" means low gear - equalivalent to 1st gear- and "2" means 2nd gear. You can use these two gears to help you get through heavy mud or snow. When in "D" your transmission shifts through low and 2nd for you. Low and 2nd allow you to shift gears for yourself if you need to, or want to. Most folks don't want to, that's why the bought a car with an automatic transmission to begin with.

L means low or first gear 2 means 2nd gear so when shifter is in that position that is the highest gear it will shift to

"L" means low (or 1st gear), and "2" means 2nd gear. They're for any situation, like driving on the snow and ice, that you might want to limit how fast your car goes down hills, etc. Very usefull!!

Low is low gear (1st) and 2 is second gear. This is a way to manually downshift your automatic transmission, but in most cases, it is best just to put it in Drive and go.

pop the hood and look on the lever that connects to the transmission, would desire to have a lever with a ball on it, merely pull the connecter off the transmission and circulate it by hand, would desire to make a click each kit it is going in, so if it strikes, have somebody initiate the motor vehicle, carry the brake down, a million click returned would be opposite, 3 greater will bechronic, get it abode and notice whats blockading it.

L is for low, meaning the 1st gear in your automatic transmission.
2 is for the second gear of your automatic transmission.

L MEANS LOWER WHICH IS LOWEST GEAR WOULD BE 1ST GEAR
2 MEANS 2ND GEAR
JUST AS A MANUAL BUT ITS AUTOMATIC IT STILL HAS ALL GEARS
