Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Gears
English term or phrase: turtle and rabbit gears
En un texto sobre automoción sin mucho contexto me aparece:
Operator can adjust the wanted default speed range setting for both turtle and rabbit gears. Correct default percent is taken into use according to the selected gear when Eco-drive mode is activated.

Aunque me veo tentado de traducir rabbit por conejo y turtle por tortuga, no sé a qué se refieren y por eso les pido su ayuda. Gracias.
