What does the letter i stand for on a automatic shifter?

the only answer i can think of is that some cars, like your buddy's saturn, have a certain font they use on the shifting column and make a lowercase L look like a capital i.

see look l (lowercase L) I (capital i). The letter L would stand for low gear.

hope this helps you.

i think of everybody else replied the L and a couple of end of the question nicely adequate, yet as for the Overdrive button, what that will certainly do is disengage the overdrive selection. On my ninety 8 Dakota, I even have the overdrive button on the shifter (computerized trans) and it disengages my overdrive. As with L and a couple of, that's quite seldom you will ought to apply this whilst using commonly. If towing, this is useful to to disengage it because of the better gearing no longer having the capability to pull at highway speeds and inflicting your trans to shift in and out of OD lots.

Could it be L for low gear or 1st gear.

mabe it means idle? never heard of it before.
