At what speed should I shift to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear?

Manual transmission gears 1-5 correspond to the following speeds: 1. 1st gear: Used for normal starting or climbing very steep slopes. The speed is generally around 10 km/h. 2. 2nd gear: Used as a transition gear after starting to accelerate, or for low-speed driving or climbing steep slopes. The speed is generally around 20 km/h. 3. 3rd gear: Used at speeds of 20-40 km/h, commonly used for city driving. 4. 4th gear: Used at speeds of 40-60 km/h. 5. 5th gear: Can be used at speeds of 60 km/h and above. Additional information: 1. For normal driving, shifting can generally be done at 1500-1700 RPM, which may result in slightly higher fuel consumption but is still within normal range. For those who prefer aggressive driving, shifting at 3500 RPM provides noticeably faster acceleration but also significantly higher fuel consumption. 2. 1st gear is also a forward gear, but the transmission can only operate within 1st gear and cannot shift to other gears. It is most useful in severe traffic congestion or on very steep slopes. When going up or down steep slopes, the engine's torque can be fully utilized.
