You should use M- when driving uphill. The M mode is the manual mode of an automatic transmission. When engaged in this mode, you can upshift at high speeds and downshift at low speeds. Other gear positions of an automatic transmission include P, R, N, D, etc. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmissions: Introduction: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions in an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Working principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it is.

How to Use the Electronic Parking Brake on the Regal?

The method to use the electronic parking brake on the Regal is to press the brake pedal and push the switch to release the electronic parking brake, while lifting the switch engages the parking brake. More details are as follows: 1. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves vehicle parking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the traditional mechanical parking brake, which controls the vehicle's stop through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. 2. The difference between the electronic parking brake and the mechanical parking brake is that the control method changes to button control. The electronic parking brake originated from the auto-hold function. 3. Using the auto-hold function allows the driver to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary, preventing unnecessary sliding of the car. Currently, many car brands are equipped with the electronic parking brake function, among which the more common ones include Volkswagen's Magotan, Audi's A4, A6, and the Regal.
