Can You Downshift Directly from 4th Gear to 1st Gear?
1 Answers
Downshifting directly from 4th gear to 1st gear is not recommended. Here's an introduction about maximum speed related content: Maximum speed testing: The maximum speed refers to the highest achievable driving speed of a vehicle under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. According to Chinese regulations, the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the maximum speed testing zone, with four round trips conducted and the average value taken. Limited maximum speed: The actual maximum speed differs from the theoretical maximum speed (which refers to the optimal performance achievable by the engine under ideal conditions, existing only in theory). For some high-performance vehicles, manufacturers often implement technical measures (such as electronic speed limiters) to restrict the vehicle's maximum speed, either to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations.
