What does the M in an automatic transmission car mean?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission M refers to the manual mode in a semi-automatic transmission. The '+' and '-' symbols represent acceleration and deceleration, respectively. Below are the meanings and usage methods of the letters on an automatic transmission: 1. P (Park) is the parking gear in an automatic transmission car. Always shift to P when parking to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. 2. R (Reverse) is the reverse gear in an automatic transmission car. Engaging R creates backward traction, used for reversing into parking spaces or parallel parking. 3. N (Neutral) is the neutral gear in an automatic transmission car. Unlike manual transmissions, it doesn't fully disconnect the transmission from the engine, so coasting in N is dangerous and should only be used briefly at traffic lights. 4. D (Drive) is the forward gear in an automatic transmission car. Simply shift to D, accelerate by pressing the gas pedal, and brake to slow down. 5. S (Sport) is the sport mode in an automatic transmission car. It provides stronger power and acceleration, suitable for highways or congested roads. 6. L (Low) is the low gear in an automatic transmission car, also called the climbing gear. It reduces speed to ensure powerful engine output, often used on bumpy roads or long uphill climbs. 7. M (Manual) is the manual mode in an automatic transmission car. After switching to M, you can manually shift up or down to match the precise gear needed for actual driving conditions.
