Manual-automatic transmission vehicles can switch to manual mode while driving. Here are the details: Manual mode: Manual mode is primarily used for overtaking and accelerating, assisting on slopes, and enhancing the vehicle's ability to escape difficult road conditions. Introduction to manual-automatic shifting: When switching from automatic D mode to M mode, a specific gear's clutch or brake is fixed. For example, if a 6AT transmission is in D mode and driving in 3rd gear, switching to M mode will keep the transmission in 3rd gear. While driving in 3rd gear, the transmission's internal 35R and UD clutches remain engaged, keeping the transmission fixed in 3rd gear.
