How to Shift to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Gears?

[Olga]

Generally, start in 1st gear, then shift to 2nd gear after driving a few meters. When the speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph, shift to 3rd gear. When the speed exceeds 35 mph but is below 45 mph, shift to 4th gear. If the speed goes beyond 45 mph, shift to 5th gear. Below are some related details: 1. Gear Shifting Precautions: If you notice the vehicle shaking while driving, it indicates the engine is operating at low speed with high load. Immediately downshift by one or two gears based on the actual situation. When shifting gears, coordinate the clutch and accelerator properly—press the clutch pedal fully, release the accelerator pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. After shifting, release your hand promptly and avoid keeping it on the gear lever (commonly called the gear stick) for too long, as this may damage it. 2. Special Methods for Reverse Gear: Different vehicles have different ways to engage reverse gear. Some require pushing straight to the right and then pulling down to engage; others position reverse gear further left than 1st gear, meaning you need to push left one more notch beyond 1st gear and then shift forward. Some vehicles require lifting the button under the gear stick with the middle and ring fingers, then pushing left and forward to engage reverse gear. Others need the gear stick to be pressed down before pushing left and forward or right and backward to engage reverse gear.
