Should You Press the Accelerator When Shifting from First to Second Gear?
1 Answers
You should press the accelerator when shifting from first to second gear. Here are the relevant details: 1. First Gear: Generally, vehicles must start in first gear or use it when climbing steep slopes. After normal driving begins, once the speed reaches 5 to 10 km/h or above, you can press the accelerator, release it briefly, and then shift into second gear. Shift from second to third gear at 20 to 30 km/h, and so on, gradually moving up to the highest gear. 2. Gear Shifting: While pressing the accelerator, also observe the tachometer to monitor engine speed. Properly controlling the engine speed during gear shifts helps protect the engine and clutch gearbox while saving fuel.
