The "M" on the shift panel of a car typically stands for "Manual" mode in vehicles with automatic transmissions. When engaged, it allows the driver to manually select gears, providing greater control over the vehicle's performance, especially in situations like steep inclines or when overtaking. This mode is often used for sportier driving or to enhance engine braking.
