Neutral or First Gear for Ignition?
1 Answers
It is generally recommended to start the engine in neutral. The functions of car gears are as follows: 1. First gear: Starting gear, used for vehicle launch, not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. 2. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating road surfaces and handling complex situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy road sections. 3. Third gear: Transition gear, primarily for low-speed urban driving, allowing easy acceleration to fourth gear or deceleration to second gear. 4. Fourth gear: Cruising gear, mainly used for extended high-speed driving and fuel-efficient operation, with most vehicles achieving optimal fuel economy at lower speeds in this gear. 5. Fifth gear: High-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.
