D seems to work for me :) j/k<BR>um I dont know you could check in your owners manuel it has all the information on L and S and when you should use them.<BR>I only use them when im driving in snow and ice so that the transmission does the braking

L is for low speed incline S is for high speed incline. Use L if you have someone in front of you and your speed is varying instead of increasing. S is for when your wide open and can more freely increase speed on the incline
