What does it mean when the prompt 'failed to smoothly shift gears as instructed' appears during Subject 3?
1 Answers
In Subject 3, the prompt indicating a failure to smoothly shift gears means that the clutch was not fully depressed during gear shifting. Below are the relevant operation instructions for gear shifting: 1. Upshifting operation: After starting in first gear, appropriately press the accelerator to increase speed before upshifting. When accelerating to 15~20 km/h, shift to second gear. During gear shifting, release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, move the gear lever to the neutral position, then release the clutch pedal. After releasing, depress the clutch pedal again, push the gear lever into second gear, and then slowly release the clutch while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal to smoothly increase speed. The same method applies to other upshifting operations. 2. Downshifting operation: When downshifting is needed, release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, push the gear lever into neutral, then release the clutch pedal. Lightly press the accelerator to increase engine speed (a light press is sufficient, do not exceed 3000 rpm), then depress the clutch pedal again, push the gear lever into a lower gear, and slowly release the clutch until the left foot completely releases the clutch. Then, press the accelerator to control the car's speed in the new gear. During downshifting, you can skip one gear but must not skip two gears. Downshifting can be used when descending long slopes and needing to slow down using engine idle speed.
