Line 2:

==Operation==

The Multimode Manual Transmission has the following gears: R, N, E, Es, M+, M-.

* '''R''': R is the reverse gear. It is similar to R in both traditional manual and in full automatic cars.

Line 9:

* '''E''': E ("Easy") is the functional equivalent of D in a full automatic. As the gearbox in a MMT car is a manual gearbox, instead of one with a [[torque converter]] as in a traditional automatic, gear changes are noticeable. The [[accelerator]] should be eased off slightly when gear changes to produce a smooth ride.

* '''Es''': Es ("Easy sports") is similar to E with the difference that the computer will let the engine rev more before going to next gear.

* '''M-''' : Downshifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M5 (M6 in 6-speed MMT cars) to M1.
