In your Chevy Equinox, the "M" position on the gear selector indicates Manual mode. This setting enables you to manually adjust the transmission shift points similar to driving a manual transmission without needing to use the clutch. This functionality gives drivers greater control over the vehicle's acceleration. To take charge of the shift points, simply shift the selector into the "M" position and utilize the + and - buttons located on the side of the gear shift to choose your desired gear. By using this system, you can achieve quicker acceleration by keeping the vehicle in a lower gear for an extended period compared to when the car's computer controls the shifts.
When should you use manual shift in different driving scenarios?
How can you switch to a different mode?
