What does the M1 gear mean?
1 Answers
M1 refers to the first gear in manual mode. Here is some additional information: 1. M gear, short for Manual, is the manual mode. It is generally used when going up or down slopes, entering parking garages, in traffic jams, or when following other vehicles. 2. When shifted into M gear, it switches to manual mode, requiring manual gear changes. The gear lever will have "+" and "-" symbols. Pushing the lever toward the "+" direction shifts up one gear, while pushing it toward the "-" direction shifts down one gear. Additional information: Common automatic transmission gears generally include the following: 1. P gear, Park. It is typically used when turning off and parking the vehicle. Many vehicles need to be in P gear to power off, remove the key, or lock the doors. After shifting into P gear, the vehicle's braking mechanism is locked. 2. N gear, Neutral. It is usually used for short-term parking. 3. D gear, Drive. D gear is the most commonly used gear. Shifting into D gear and pressing the accelerator will make the car move forward. 4. L gear, Low. Its function is to reduce speed and increase torque, commonly used when climbing slopes. 5. S gear, Sport. Shifting into S gear causes the car to shift up later or downshift earlier, keeping the engine at higher RPMs and increasing torque output for greater power. It is commonly used when overtaking.
