How to Use the M Gear in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
The method of using the M gear in an automatic transmission car is as follows: 1. When overtaking, it can utilize the high torque of lower gears to accelerate quickly, completing the overtaking action more swiftly; 2. When going downhill, it can make full use of engine braking to reduce speed; 3. When driving at high speeds, it allows for rapid acceleration and can use engine braking during emergency braking; 4. When taking curves, it can utilize engine braking to decelerate. The M gear refers to the manual mode of a semi-automatic transmission, which allows manual control of gear shifting (upshifting and downshifting). There is no need to press the brake or release the accelerator when using the M gear. The functions of the M gear are: 1. To obtain greater traction when overtaking; 2. To gain more power when climbing long slopes; 3. To use engine braking to control speed when descending long slopes, preventing brake overheating and thermal fade.
