What are the speed ranges for gears 1 to 5?

The speed ranges for gears 1 to 5 in a manual transmission car are as follows: 1st gear: 1st gear is the starting gear. When the vehicle is stationary, slowly release the clutch and gently press the accelerator. The speed range should be 0-15 km/h. 2nd gear: After a smooth start, when the RPM reaches between 1600 and 2200, you can shift to 2nd gear. The speed range for 2nd gear is 20-30 km/h. 3rd gear: When the car is around 2200 RPM, you can shift to 3rd gear. The speed range for 3rd gear is 40-50 km/h. 4th gear: When the car is around 2200 RPM, you can shift to 4th gear. The speed range for 4th gear is 50-80 km/h. 5th gear: When the car is around 2200 RPM, you can shift to 5th gear. The speed range for 5th gear is 80-150 km/h. The reason why the car's gear must match the speed is that when the speed corresponds to the gear, the car's performance is at its best, and the thermal efficiency of the fuel is the highest. If the speed and gear do not match, such as high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear, it will not only increase fuel consumption but also cause irreversible damage to the engine and transmission. Therefore, the gear and speed must be matched while driving. When shifting gears, the clutch and accelerator must be well-coordinated. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then release the accelerator pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. After shifting, immediately release your hand and do not keep it on the gear lever for too long, as this can easily damage the gear lever. For manual transmission cars, the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting" must be remembered. Before upshifting, "rev" the accelerator to increase the speed first, and before downshifting, "release" the accelerator to reduce the speed first. Before shifting gears, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed, and the gear lever should be operated lightly, quickly, smoothly, and accurately.
