How many gears does the M mode have?
2 Answers
Generally, the number marked as "speed" represents the number of gears. For example, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has 7 gears. Common automatic transmissions typically have 6, 7, or 8 speeds. The M mode is the manual mode of a semi-automatic transmission, and the number of gears in M mode depends on the number of gears in the automatic transmission. Additional information: Below are the gears of an automatic transmission: 1. P – Parking gear. 2. R – Reverse gear. 3. N – Neutral gear. 4. D – Drive gear. 5. L – Low gear. 6. OD – Overdrive gear.
Oh, I've been driving manual mode cars for 20 years, to be honest, the specific gear positions in M mode really depend on the car. Some cars come standard with 6 gears, like certain Volkswagen models, and may have 7 or 8 speeds after upgrades, such as BMW M series. When driving on mountain roads, I like to switch to M mode and downshift to control speed when going downhill, while upshifting in urban traffic jams saves fuel. For newbie friends, note that the shift button is usually on the gear lever, just operate the +/- symbols. Don't rev the engine into the red zone to avoid damaging the car, proper operation is key to performance. An extra reminder is to regularly maintain transmission fluid to ensure smooth operation.
