Blind side reversing

I could have used the RM position to enable smoother reversing

not driven an auto yet, can someone explain that please?

I haven’t driven one yet either, but we’ve got one where I work.

The MAN auto has a rotary control switch, the available positions clockwise are :- RM, R, N, D, RD.
Apparently, when you switch to either of the M positions, you have much more control when maneouvering in tight places.
