Starting in Neutral or First Gear?

[Ezekiel]

It is generally recommended to start the engine in neutral. First Gear: The starting gear, used for initiating vehicle movement, not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Second Gear: The passing gear, primarily 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. Third Gear: The transition gear, mainly used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Acceleration can easily transition to fourth gear, while deceleration can smoothly shift down to second gear. Fourth Gear: The cruising gear, primarily used for extended periods of high-speed driving and economical operation. Most vehicles achieve their optimal fuel efficiency at the lower speed range of fourth gear. Fifth Gear: The high-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.
