How to Operate Manual Transmission When Decelerating?
1 Answers
When decelerating a manual transmission vehicle, first press the brake pedal. Once the speed has reduced to an appropriate level, then press the clutch pedal to shift out of gear or change gears. Additionally, when decelerating and shifting, you can skip gears to downshift. For example, if the vehicle is currently in 5th gear at 70 km/h, and you need to decelerate to follow traffic, you can first press the brake to reduce speed, then fully depress the clutch pedal and directly shift from 5th gear to 3rd gear. This operation will not damage the car. Additional Information: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, mastering the clutch is crucial for smooth driving. Except for starting the car, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, avoid unnecessarily pressing the clutch pedal or resting your foot on it. 2. Correct operation when starting: The key points for operating the clutch pedal when starting are 'quick, slow, and coordinated.' Initially, lift the pedal quickly; when the clutch begins to engage (noticeable by a change in the engine sound), slow down the lifting speed.
