[OHeidi]

Shifting gears requires fully depressing the clutch. Below are the relevant details about gear shifting: 1. Gear shifting is the abbreviation for the operation method of the gear lever: It refers to the driver's psychological and physiological movements to continuously change the position of the gear lever according to road conditions and vehicle speed changes, with the function of altering the car's speed; 2. The gear shifting method involves mastering the appropriate timing for shifting, ensuring the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever are correctly and coordinately operated with accurate positioning: It also includes smoothly and promptly releasing the clutch pedal after shifting into a new gear, and performing the shifting action quickly to shorten the shifting time and reduce the loss of the car's kinetic energy; 3. Gear shifting is divided into manual shifting and automatic shifting: The key points for operating the clutch pedal during manual clutch starting are "fast first, slow second, and linked third," while automatic shifting is controlled by a computer, making the operation simple.
