After starting, you should shift gears in sequence. When upshifting, it's best to slightly pass through the neutral position, which can minimize wear and tear. Speed matching for gear shifting: When shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, the vehicle speed should reach 15-20 km/h; when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, the speed should reach 25-35 km/h; when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, the speed should reach 35-45 km/h; when shifting from 4th to 5th gear, the speed should reach 45-55 km/h. This also applies to downshifting. Avoid skipping gears: Skipping gears while driving can easily damage the vehicle's transmission.

How to Determine if Transmission Fluid is Sufficient

The following are the steps to check the transmission fluid level: 1. For more accurate results, shift the gear to P (Park), start the vehicle, and let it idle for 2 minutes. 2. Press the brake pedal and shift gears in the following sequence: R-N twice, N-D twice. Keep the brake pedal pressed during the shifting process, and finally shift to N (Neutral). 3. Press the brake pedal, shift to R (Reverse), release the pedal, let the wheels rotate for about 10 seconds, lightly press the brake pedal to stop the wheels, then shift to N (Neutral), and repeat this operation once more. 4. Press the brake pedal, shift to D (Drive), release the pedal, let the wheels rotate for about 10 seconds, then lightly press the pedal to stop the wheels, shift to N (Neutral), and repeat this operation once more. 5. After completing the above steps, shift to P (Park), keep the engine idling, lift the vehicle to a suitable position, remove the transmission fluid check bolt, and discard the gasket. If the fluid flows out in a continuous stream from the check bolt hole, it indicates the fluid level is normal. 6. If the fluid is insufficient, add fluid through the filler hole until a continuous stream of fluid flows out. At the same time, replace the gasket with a new one, tighten the filler screw, check for any leaks, lower the vehicle, and the fluid check is complete.

Violators will be fined 50 RMB, and if a traffic accident is caused, the fine will be 200 RMB. In the event of an accident, if one of the drivers is wearing slippers, even if they are not at fault for the accident, the responsibility will be borne by the other party, and the driver wearing slippers will still be penalized by traffic police for driving in slippers. If both parties are found to be at fault according to the accident circumstances, the driver wearing slippers will not only bear the accident responsibility but also face additional penalties. Footwear unsuitable for driving: High-top shoes, snow boots, thick-soled sneakers, platform shoes, and Crocs are not suitable for driving. These types of shoes restrict joint movement due to the coverage of the legs and ankles, reducing sensitivity and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions due to delayed braking. Additionally, their wider shape and soft soles can cause the foot to slip inside the shoe, leading to braking errors and significant safety hazards. Footwear suitable for driving: Lightweight shoes. Heavy shoes are generally bulky and less flexible, potentially hindering ankle movement and causing inconvenience. In emergencies, heavy shoes may prevent timely and precise reactions. Shoes with a high fit to the foot. If the sole and toes do not fit snugly with the shoes, the driver may not fully sense the pressure applied to the pedals. Shoes with moderate friction. Only shoes with sufficient friction can ensure a secure grip between the sole and the pedals, thereby ensuring safe driving.
