I don't have automatic gearbox, but AFAIK, when you put the switch on the "A" mode, the car should act normally, that is the car would shift gears automatically ("A" stands for "Auto"). When put on "M" mode, ("M" stands for "Manual"), you should change the gears yourself.

But maybe someone here with automatic transmission can provide more details about it.

Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe your server is blocking it?
