Can You Slow Down Without Downshifting While Driving?

[Daisy]

It is possible to slow down without downshifting while driving, which can be achieved in vehicles with larger displacement and lighter loads. You can gradually adjust to the correct gear after the speed has sufficiently decreased. Since speed and gear must be properly matched, it is best to shift up or down according to the appropriate speed. Gear-shifting considerations: 1. Gear matching: The allowable range for first gear is 0~20, and the ideal time to shift to second gear is between 15~20; the allowable range for second gear is 10~30, and the ideal time to shift to third gear is between 25~30; the allowable range for third gear is 20~40, and the ideal time to shift to fourth gear is between 35~40; the allowable range for fourth gear is 30~50, and the ideal time to shift to fifth gear is between 45~50. 2. Smooth shifting: Strive for smooth gear changes, shifting only when the speed (RPM) is appropriate, and avoid gear disengagement.
