What is the correct method for downshifting?
1 Answers
The correct method for downshifting is: 1. High-speed downshifting to stop: Depress the clutch pedal fully, shift the gear to neutral, continue applying the brakes until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, and then engage the handbrake. 2. Urban downshifting: If the engine speed drops too low during downshifting, falling to around 1,200 RPM, you can lightly press the accelerator to raise the speed to approximately 1,800 RPM to prevent strong jerking or stalling due to excessively low engine speed. For automatic transmission vehicles, the downshifting process can be automatically completed by the vehicle's computer. For manual transmission vehicles, downshifting can be performed based on engine speed and vehicle speed, with throttle blipping required when necessary.
