1 Answers
When starting a car, use 1st gear. Below are detailed techniques for shifting gears in a manual transmission car: When starting the vehicle: After idling for about half a minute, press the clutch, shift into 1st gear, simultaneously press the foot brake with your right foot, release the handbrake with your right hand, and slowly release the clutch. While driving: When the speed reaches 15 to 20 km/h, shift into 2nd gear. When the speed reaches 25 to 30 km/h, shift into 3rd gear. When slowing down or stopping: Press the brake until the vehicle speed drops below a safe speed, then press the clutch and shift into neutral.
