What does the M gear in Cadillac mean?
1 Answers
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.
