When the speed is between 10-20 km/h, shift to 2nd gear; when the speed is between 20-30 km/h, shift to 3rd gear; and when the speed is between 30-40 km/h, shift to 4th gear. After selecting the appropriate gear, perform the shifting operation. When upshifting, the action should be swift and smooth, and avoid looking down at the gear lever. Below are some precautions for gear shifting while driving: 1. Overtaking: Upshift when overtaking, as higher gears provide lower torque, which can actually slow down the car during acceleration. 2. Avoid looking down at the gear lever when shifting: This can easily lead to rear-end collisions and other traffic accidents. 3. Not fully depressing the clutch when shifting: Failing to fully depress the clutch when shifting can cause gear grinding in the transmission. Frequent gear grinding can reduce the lifespan of the transmission and, in severe cases, may even cause the transmission to fail on the spot.

How to Spray Automotive Clear Coat?

When applying a coat of paint, it's crucial to estimate the amount accurately. If there's insufficient paint, use black or white paint mixed with the original paint as a base, then cover it with the original paint. In cold weather, always wait for the paint to dry before applying the second coat. If the finish is too glossy, pay close attention to the spray gun distance and speed when applying the second coat.

How to Shift Gears Up and Down in a Manual Transmission?

Before shifting gears, you must fully depress the clutch pedal. The operation of the gear lever should be swift, gentle, and precise. Before upshifting, you must first accelerate. When the vehicle speed reaches the appropriate range for the next higher gear, promptly shift into the higher gear. When downshifting, you can only shift into a lower gear when the vehicle speed drops to a certain value.

How to Operate the Chery Ant EV for Driving?

When the vehicle needs to be parked for an extended period, especially on a slope, it is necessary to shift into P (Park) gear, at which point the wheels are mechanically locked. The reverse gear is used when the vehicle is backing up. Typically, you need to press the safety button on the shift lever before moving it to the "R" (Reverse) position. When shifting into N (Neutral) gear, the parking brake must be firmly engaged. For brief stops on a slope, the brake pedal should also be pressed to prevent the vehicle from rolling. To prepare for driving, after pressing the brake pedal, shift the gear lever into D (Drive) gear, then release the parking brake, and start by releasing the brake pedal and pressing the accelerator.
