When the "M+" and "M-" buttons are pressed beside the "D" gear, it means that the manual mode is activated. In manual mode, the driver can control the number of gears manually. However, the gear change does not require the use of a clutch like in a traditional manual transmission, and it also does not require the release of the oil pedal. The "M" button is used to manually increase or decrease the gear number. It is worth noting that the "M" button should not be used when the car is in motion.
Other gear positions in a car include "R" (reverse), "N" (neutral), and "S" (sport). "R" gear is used for backing up and should only be used when the car has come to a complete stop. "N" gear is equivalent to the empty gear in a manual transmission and allows the car to glide. "S" gear is used for high-speed driving.
