What does the M stand for in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the M gear stands for manual mode. Only cars equipped with a manual mode in a semi-automatic transmission or a simulated manual mode in a CVT transmission have an M gear; regular automatic transmission cars do not have an M gear. Below are the usage methods for the M gear in an automatic transmission car: 1. The M gear in an automatic transmission is the manual mode, which can be engaged directly. Push up once to shift up a gear, pull down once to shift down a gear, and you can start in 2nd gear. 2. When in a high gear, releasing the throttle without pressing the brake will not downshift. If the speed is too low, it will automatically downshift to the appropriate gear. The transmission will not upshift on its own while driving.
