What is s and l stand for in the auto gearbox on a Mazda mx-3?

The "S" in the auto gearbox on a Mazda MX-3 stands for "Sport" mode, while the "L" stands for "Low" mode.

Sport mode is designed to provide improved performance by holding gears longer, allowing the engine to rev higher before shifting up. This can be useful when you want to accelerate quickly or drive more aggressively. Low mode is designed to provide better control in slippery conditions or when driving downhill by keeping the transmission in a lower gear, which helps to slow the vehicle down.
