Cadillac's M gear stands for manual mode. In most models, the manual mode is denoted by M. After switching to manual mode, the vehicle's transmission will not automatically shift up in the short term, and the driver needs to shift gears using the paddles on the steering wheel or the gear lever. Below is an introduction to the functions of the M gear in automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Manual gear shifting adjustment. You can shift up or down by pressing this button, and freely adjust by moving the gear lever left/right or up/down. 2. Gear shifting operations are only executed within safe parameters. It will only perform the operation within the set safety parameters for shifting up or down. 3. The CVT transmission provides a more direct power feel, mainly compared to dual-clutch transmissions and traditional AT transmissions. The CVT transmission is slightly different—it is originally a continuously variable transmission, but when you shift to M gear or S gear, it simulates several regular AT gears.

Why Can the Car Key Only Be Inserted Halfway?

If the car key cannot be inserted fully, it may be due to a lack of fit to some extent or insufficient lubrication. You can apply some wax or lubricant to the rusty parts of the key and then try to open the door directly. Below are some possible reasons: 1. Debris in the keyhole: Check if there is any blockage inside; if present, it will prevent the key from being inserted. 2. Lock malfunction: In this case, the key insertion will be obstructed, making it difficult to insert the key completely. 3. Vehicle anti-theft system activation: When the door is forcibly opened from the outside, the car's computer may automatically lock the vehicle, which can also prevent the key from being inserted.
