For manual transmission vehicles, you should first pull the handbrake and then shift to neutral. 1st Gear: Used for normal starts or when climbing very steep slopes. The speed is generally around 10 km/h. 2nd Gear: Used as a transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, with speeds generally around 20 km/h. 3rd Gear: Used at speeds between 20-40 km/h, commonly used for city driving. 4th Gear: Used at speeds between 40-60 km/h. 5th Gear: Used at speeds above 60 km/h. N (Neutral) Gear: Used when the car is idling or parked.
