Manual transmission encountering red light 5th gear deceleration method: You can use the skip-shift method - brake to reduce speed, shift from 5th to 3rd gear, then further decelerate to 2nd, 1st, neutral, and stop. Always remember the shifting principle: accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting. Before upshifting, step on the throttle to increase speed first; before downshifting, release the throttle to reduce speed first. When waiting at a red light in a manual transmission car, always shift to neutral. After shifting to neutral, it's best to engage the handbrake. If the stop time is short, you can lightly press the brake pedal - this is necessary even on relatively flat roads. Try to develop good driving habits to prevent oversights caused by carelessness.
