Johnm400 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Got a 94 auto. It's the first auto I've ever had. I've no owners manual and I'm wondering exactly how the manual button next to the gearstick works? As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to do anything other than light up on the dial when pressed.

markylee Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Manual mode allows you to hold the gear you select , so if you put it in 2nd it will pull away in second, other than auto mode which will then pull away in first and then second and stay in second, hope that makes sense.

AC93 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It will usually start off in second, and will hold the lowest gear it can while driving. So if youre doing 90/100 it will hold it in 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 1 , 2 , D , D over drive. this can be helpful as you can use engine breaking but driving manually is abit rubbish going up the gears as you cant better the change point but can hold gears for corners when in the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnm400 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 So is it bad to move the shifter between L-2-D without the MANU button pressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 So is it bad to move the shifter between L-2-D without the MANU button pressed? Nope. M mode just makes it stay in the gear and doesn't use overdrive. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?86128-The-Autobox-Modes-of-Operation http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?49175-How-do-u-use-the-manual-mode-on-a-auto-NA-supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Manual mode will still go into 4th (or Overdrive) when you get to 130/140 and its at the redline in 3rd. But wont go into it while cruising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
