d and m refer to the car being in forward gear and manual mode respectively. Different gears serve different purposes and result in varying speeds. The m gear is the manual mode. After shifting to m gear, you can manually control the transmission to shift up or down, but this manual mode does not require pressing the clutch, and the engine will not stall. The M gear refers to a setting on the fully manual function dial of a camera. Generally, digital cameras refer to P, A, and S as partial manual functions, while M is called the fully manual function. The M gear can also refer to a gear position in today's cars with manual-automatic transmission. It can shift automatically or manually, by moving the gear lever to the middle of the M+ and M- symbols. The d gear is the forward gear. In d gear, the transmission operates between 1 and overdrive (equivalent to 1 to 4 gears), and the transmission will switch between 1st and 4th gears based on speed and throttle conditions. It is the standard driving gear, with the letter understood as 'drive,' used for normal road driving. In d gear, the speed can be controlled simply by managing the throttle and brake. When in d gear, pulling the gear lever back once will shift the car into m gear, i.e., manual mode, at which point the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel can be used.
