I usually drive a Magotan to commute, and switching to manual mode is quite simple, especially helpful in heavy traffic or when climbing slopes. The steps are: after starting the car, leave the gear lever in the D position, then directly push or pull the paddle shifters on the left side of the steering wheel—the plus sign is for upshifting, and the minus sign is for downshifting—instantly entering manual mode. The dashboard will display gear numbers like 1, 2, 3, allowing you to manually control gear shifts. This is useful for accelerating to overtake or using lower gears to slow down when descending slopes, avoiding excessive brake wear. Switching back to automatic mode is also quick—just leave the paddle shifters untouched for a few seconds or push the gear lever back to D. I recommend beginners practice switching on flat roads first to avoid damaging the transmission due to high-speed mistakes. Always check that the gear matches the speed for safety and fuel efficiency.
