An automatic transmission with manual mode is an automatic transmission that combines manual and automatic shifting functions:
When using an automatic transmission with manual mode, you need to switch the gear lever to the "M" position, and then perform upshift or downshift operations as needed. Additionally, some models offer button-based shifting. Paddle shifters are equipped behind the steering wheel, and their function is the same as the manual shifting function of the transmission. The method for determining the optimal upshift timing is the same as with a manual transmission, which is to decide based on the engine speed.
