Downshifting directly from 3rd to 1st gear is possible. Detailed steps for gear shifting while releasing the throttle are as follows: Upshifting: Release the throttle, depress the clutch, upshift, release the clutch, and press the throttle. For downshifting, release the throttle, depress the clutch, lightly press the brake, downshift, and release the clutch. Apply throttle as needed. When shifting gears, always release the throttle, as operating a manual transmission car without releasing the throttle is difficult. Downshifting: Release the throttle, lightly press the brake to control the speed within the range suitable for the target gear, depress the clutch, engage the corresponding gear, and then gradually release the clutch. Downshifting is a deceleration process, but it doesn't mean completely ignoring the throttle pedal. After completing the shift and fully releasing the clutch pedal, you need to immediately press the throttle pedal to achieve smooth power transition.

How to Break in a Manual-Automatic Transmission Car Best?

When a new manual-automatic transmission car is in the break-in period, it is advisable to avoid high-speed driving above 90 km/h. As the car approaches the completion of the break-in period at around 5,000 kilometers, the owner can briefly run the engine above 4,000 RPM to reduce carbon deposits and enhance engine performance. The driving techniques during the break-in period are as follows: 1. Warm up the car before starting and avoid emergency braking, as this not only severely impacts the braking system during break-in but also increases the shock load on the chassis to the engine. 2. From the perspective of clutch maintenance, 'brake before clutch' is recommended. Some beginners, afraid of stalling, constantly keep their foot on the clutch pedal, pressing it first when slowing down, which can cause significant damage to the clutch. 3. When starting the car, do not press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Acceleration should be gradual, avoiding sudden bursts of speed. The vehicle should progress step by step, starting in the lowest gear and gradually shifting up. Avoid driving at high gears with low speeds or low gears with high speeds, and change gears frequently.

Will the money be refunded if the subject one appointment is canceled?

Subject one cancellation of appointment will refund the money, but it is necessary to communicate with the driving school in advance. The following is the introduction of the ranking rules for subject one appointment: 1. For the first appointment for the exam: When making the first appointment for the subject, the time when the user initially applied for a motor vehicle driver's license and other business is accepted is used as the ranking time. 2. For non-first appointment for the exam: When making a non-first appointment for the exam, the last exam time is used as the ranking time. 3. When actively canceling the appointment after the exam appointment is successful: When actively canceling the appointment due to personal reasons after the exam appointment is successful, the time of canceling the appointment is used as the ranking time. 4. When both the second and third situations are met at the same time: When both the second and third situations are met at the same time, the most recent time is used as the ranking time.

Can 3 points deducted for no annual inspection be deducted from someone else's score?

Yes, but the person involved must sign with their driver's license. Below is a detailed introduction to deducting points for others due to no annual inspection: 1. Driver's License: Abbreviated as the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license," it is the license required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. 2. Calculation Method of the Driver's License Points Cycle: The points cycle starts from the date the driver's license is obtained. For example, if the license was obtained on November 4th, then November 4th marks the start of a points cycle, which lasts until November 3rd of the following year. If the points accumulated within a cycle do not reach 12 and the fines are paid before the cycle ends, the system will automatically reset the points at the start of the next cycle.

What causes the abnormal noise in the rear wheels of the Geely GL?

Geely GL rear wheel abnormal noise causes are as follows: Tire issues: Pebbles stuck in the rear tire treads can cause a "clicking" noise during high-speed driving. This noise changes frequency with vehicle speed - faster speed leads to higher frequency, slower speed results in lower frequency. Brake pad problems: When brake pads wear to their limit, the metal indicators rubbing against the brake discs create significant noise. Additionally, harder brake pad materials can also cause abnormal sounds. Bearing wear: Worn or loose wheel bearings in the rear wheels can also produce abnormal noises.

What Causes a Car to Shake and Lose Power?

The reasons for engine shaking and power loss in a car are as follows: 1. Damaged spark plugs: If the spark plugs are damaged, the gap between the electrodes may wear out, leading to insufficient spark and incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in shaking during acceleration. Additionally, cracks in the ceramic part of the spark plug can cause misfiring, leading to a cylinder not working properly and causing shaking during acceleration. 2. Poor fuel quality: Low-quality gasoline can result in poor atomization by the fuel injectors, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders and causing the engine to shake and lose power. It is recommended to use higher-octane gasoline after emptying the current tank and perform a fuel system cleaning. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, changed the oil and spark plugs, but still experience shaking at idle, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. In such cases, check the fuel pressure and replace components if necessary.

What is the reason for the diesel fuel injection vehicle not shutting off when the key is turned off?

This is an issue with the solenoid valve. Diesel engines should have a fuel solenoid valve. When the key is turned off, the solenoid valve should cut off the diesel fuel supply, causing the vehicle to shut off. If the vehicle does not shut off when the key is turned off, it indicates that the solenoid valve is not sealing the fuel line, allowing the engine to continue running. Additional information: 1. Principle: A solenoid valve is an industrial device controlled by electromagnetism, used as a basic automation component to control fluids, belonging to actuators, and not limited to hydraulic or pneumatic systems. It is used in industrial control systems to adjust the direction, flow, speed, and other parameters of the medium. Solenoid valves can work with different circuits to achieve the desired control, ensuring both precision and flexibility. 2. Types: There are many types of solenoid valves, each serving different functions in control systems. The most commonly used include check valves, safety valves, directional control valves, and speed regulating valves.
