    When in doubt or you wouldnt like to change gear anyway, better put it in D for it automatically shifts to d appropriate gear.

    3, 2 and L are mainly for engine breaking. 3 for slight engine break, 2 for stronger breaking and L for maximum engine break.

    Nevertheless, if u prefer to use L instead of D which automatically shifts the appropriate gear for you, you can do as you wish.

    Kung saan ka masaya, supurtahan da ka.

    2 and l(wala akong 3 sa mga auto namin) are used mainly for uphill to get the required torque, engine breaking is somewhat a secondary nature of it( nakalagay sa car manual ng mga auto namin) ang bawal is pag old school 4x4 ka, running in that speed then shifting to 4x4 definitely sira ang tranny mo(but nowadays meron ng flywire 4x4 where you can shift to 4x4 even at 100kph)

    pag naka d ka lang tapos hirap na engine mo kawawa torque converter mo sayang yung energy

    to the ts i strongly urged you to read your car manual

    after buying a car, read your car manual

    diyan mo kasi makikita yung mga differences like para saan yung N sa automatic(yung ibang engot ginagamit na pang freewheel na akala parang manual to save some gas) and kung para saan yung P or how to start an automatic and the uses of L - 2 or when to turn off\on the overdrive (some automatic no longer have the overdrive functions)

How to drive efficiently an automatic transmission car?
