What happens if you press the accelerator hard in first gear?

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.
