It will damage the engine and consume more fuel. First gear is rarely used while driving because the speed is very slow, while the engine speed is very high. Prolonged use can harm the engine. Gear shifting essentials: 1. When shifting gears, apply gentle and smooth force, avoiding abrupt movements. It doesn't need to be too fast; 1-2 seconds is ideal. Follow the essentials, with clear movements and full range of motion. When reaching the position, apply slightly heavier force (i.e., subtle force) to ensure the gear is engaged. 2. Keep the five fingers together and loosely grip the gear knob. Use the forearm to drive the hand for shifting. For small cars, first and second gears are on the left side of neutral, third and fourth gears are slightly to the right of neutral, and fifth gear is at the top right corner. When shifting up, use the lower part of the palm. When shifting down, use the four fingers (excluding the thumb) of the right hand, which is particularly labor-saving. Additionally, when disengaging gears, avoid excessive force to prevent accidentally shifting into another gear. A slight force is sufficient when engaging gears.

What is the maximum speed of the Great Wall Pao in low-range four-wheel drive?

The Great Wall Pao can reach a maximum speed of 40 mph in low-range four-wheel drive. Below is an introduction to the relevant content about top speed: Top speed testing: The maximum speed refers to the highest attainable speed a vehicle can achieve under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. According to Chinese regulations, the last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the testing area for top speed, with four round trips conducted to obtain an average value. Limiting top speed: The maximum speed differs from the theoretical top speed (which refers to the optimal performance achievable by the engine under ideal conditions, purely theoretical). For some high-performance vehicles, manufacturers often limit the vehicle's top speed through technical means (such as electronic speed limiters) to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations.

What's the Issue with the Great Wall Pao Diesel Version Malfunction?

Great Wall Pao diesel version malfunction is due to substandard fuel quality. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption-related content: Fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of large-displacement cars is as high as that of family cars. Comparison: 6 liters per 100 kilometers, same driving route, a 1.6L car, the Octavia's fuel consumption is 7 liters. Sports cars usually have much larger throttle inputs than street cars, consuming more fuel, and their fuel consumption is also relatively high. When a liter-class sports car accelerates wildly or runs at high speeds, its fuel consumption is comparable to the combined fuel consumption of a 3.0L car. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy from the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively high fuel consumption comes from high wind resistance, a compact structure that leaves no room for fuel-saving technologies to be applied, and a design philosophy that emphasizes high RPMs to extract power.

Why Does the Great Wall Pao Make Abnormal Noises When Turning in Low-Range Four-Wheel Drive?

Great Wall Pao makes abnormal noises when turning in low-range four-wheel drive due to loose wheel hub bearings and drive shaft. Below is an introduction to the related content about wheel hub ET value: Meaning: The ET value of a wheel hub refers to the offset between the installation section of the wheel hub and the centerline of the wheel rim, referred to as the offset. The J value represents the shape and height of the wheel hub flange. Introduction to ET value types: Zero offset wheel hubs indicate that the mounting hole fixing surface of the wheel hub is located at the centerline of the wheel hub; positive offset wheel hubs indicate that the distance between the joint surface of the wheel rim and the center of the wheel rim is towards the outer side; negative offset wheel hubs indicate that the distance between the joint surface of the wheel hub and the center of the wheel rim is towards the inner side.
