Default mastercraft multimeter which setting is for continuity test

i picked up a multimeter at canadian tire to test some wires on my truck because i got a broken one someweres. But the manual doesn't say which setting is for continuity testing. it has 3 plugs holes. ones for the black one and two for the red one. not sure which one to plug the red one in and which setting to turn the dial to. if anyone has one and uses it on there truck could they tell me which setting it is.

Ohms tell you if you have continuity or not. If the wire has anything but close to zero ohms it is not good.

Black is common, one red is for volts\ohms, and the 2nd is usually for amps. To check ohms, set the dial on the omega icon, 1000 means no continuity, and 000 means short.
