2 Answers
Correct gear shifting procedure for the Wuling Hongguang S: 1. Engage 1st gear when starting; 2. Slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot; 3. Gently press the accelerator pedal with your right foot. The Wuling Hongguang S is a microvan under the SAIC-GM-Wuling brand. Taking the 2019 Wuling Hongguang Basic Model L2B as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4420mm, width 1685mm, height 1755mm, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The 2019 Wuling Hongguang Basic Model L2B is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 105 and a maximum power of 77 kilowatts.
After driving the Wuling Hongguang S for so many years, I believe the correct gear-shifting procedure starts with ensuring safety. After ignition, firmly depress the clutch pedal, engage first gear to start, then gradually release the clutch while lightly pressing the accelerator to prevent vehicle jerking or stalling. On slopes, don’t skip steps—use the handbrake to assist starting and avoid rolling back to prevent harm to people or vehicles. Routinely check if gear shifts are smooth and clear; avoid forcing the gear lever, especially in winter when oil lubrication is poor—warm up the engine longer. Before parking, shift to neutral to rest your foot. Stay focused during gear changes—no phone use—and match gear shifts with speed for smooth, fuel-efficient driving. Developing these habits ensures more confident driving.
