How to Use the Manual Mode in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Usage of manual mode in automatic transmission cars: First, press the brake pedal and shift the gear lever downward to engage D (Drive) mode. Then push the lever to the left until 'S' lights up, indicating manual mode activation. To shift gears, push the lever forward to upshift or pull backward to downshift. Note that upshifting is only possible when vehicle speed and engine RPM meet requirements, as each operation requires approval from the transmission control unit. In manual mode, the transmission will automatically downshift when speed drops but won't upshift without driver input. To return to automatic mode, move the lever back to the right. Manual and automatic modes can be switched anytime without braking or releasing the accelerator.
