Should the clutch be released slowly when downshifting from third to second gear?

When downshifting from third to second gear, the clutch should be released slowly. Below is an introduction to the various gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P gear: Also known as the parking gear, it uses the mechanical device inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car. The P gear must only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, when the car is turned off, the gear must be in P. 2. N gear: This is the neutral gear. Generally, when making a brief stop, the neutral gear is engaged. At this time, the right foot can leave the brake pedal to rest. However, on slopes, the brake must still be pressed to prevent the car from rolling, unless the handbrake or electronic brake is applied. 3. D gear: This is the drive gear. When the D gear is engaged, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. The transmission will automatically determine the appropriate gear based on the accelerator position and the car's speed, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.
