Can You Keep Using the M Gear on the Highway?
1 Answers
The M gear in a transmission is the manual shifting mode. When the vehicle is in M gear, it operates similarly to a manual transmission mode, but without the need to press the clutch. The driver can shift gears appropriately based on the engine speed and vehicle speed. Automatic transmission cars have gears such as R, P, D, N, L, and S. The specific usage is as follows: R gear: Used for reversing, also known as the reverse gear. Note that the car must come to a complete stop before shifting into R gear. P gear: Used for parking, meaning the engine stops working, hence many people refer to it as the parking gear. D gear: Primarily used for driving the car forward, known as the drive gear, and is the basic gear for automatic transmission cars. N gear: Similar to the neutral gear in manual transmissions, with no difference in principle. It can be used when approaching a red light. L gear: A low gear used for uphill driving or overtaking. S gear: The sport mode, allowing free switching among all gears.
