What does the M+- next to the D gear mean?

[BennettAnn]

The M next to the D gear is the manual mode in an automatic transmission car. M+ means manually increasing the gear, and M- means manually decreasing the gear. After shifting into the M gear, the transmission gear needs to be controlled manually, but unlike a manual transmission, you don't need to press the clutch or release the accelerator when shifting gears. Overall, it is less likely to stall compared to a manual transmission. Here are some precautions for using the M gear: 1. When overtaking, use M- to lower the car's gear, increasing the torque and allowing the car to achieve greater acceleration in a short time, thus completing the overtaking maneuver faster. 2. When in manual mode, if you are unsure how many gears you have shifted up or down, you can check the dashboard, which will display the corresponding gear information.
