What does the automatic M gear mean?
1 Answers
M gear is the manual mode of an automatic transmission, meaning it enters the manual shifting mode. Here are the specific details: 1. Generally, transmissions with an M gear will also have a '+' and '-' sign next to it. Shifting is done by pushing the gear lever forward or backward or using the steering wheel paddle shifters. However, unlike a manual transmission, there is no need to release the accelerator when shifting gears; you can directly increase or decrease the gear. 2. On an automatic transmission, P stands for 'Park'; R stands for 'Reverse'; N stands for 'Neutral'; D is the gear commonly used when driving, which is 'Drive'.
