What is the correct sequence between releasing the handbrake and engaging the gear?

When starting the vehicle, you should first engage the gear and then release the handbrake. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Gear lever: The correct operating procedure when starting is to shift the gear lever into the starting gear after getting into the car. Sound the horn, turn on the turn signal, and simultaneously observe the front, sides, and rearview mirrors to check for any pedestrians or vehicles passing by, ensuring there are no obstacles to starting, with special attention to safety. Firmly hold the steering wheel, activate the left turn signal, and release the parking brake lever. 2. Preventing rolling: The reason for engaging the gear before releasing the handbrake when starting is to prevent the vehicle from rolling. If the handbrake is released first, the vehicle will be in neutral for a period before the gear is engaged. Moreover, if the ground is inclined during starting, the car in neutral may roll backward, leading to an accident.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 2.0t engine?

2.0t engine fuel consumption is approximately 11 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are specific factors affecting fuel consumption: Fuel consumption is related to engine type: Turbocharged engines consume more fuel than regular engines because they intake more air, requiring more energy to convert the air. Fuel consumption is related to driving habits: A vehicle's fuel consumption is influenced by the driver's habits, such as sudden braking and cold starts, which can increase fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is related to road conditions: Frequently driving on mountain roads, steep roads, or in urban traffic congestion can all lead to increased vehicle fuel consumption.

Can the proximity of 1st gear and reverse gear lead to mis-shifting?

Reverse gear requires a certain amount of force to press down. While holding it down, push it to the left-front direction to engage. Without pressing down, a gentle push to the left-front engages 1st gear. This pressing-down action can be understood as unlocking the reverse gear lock, so mis-shifting is generally unlikely. Here is additional information: Reverse gear introduction: Reverse gear is a driving gear found in all vehicles, usually marked with a capital letter R. After shifting into reverse, the vehicle's movement direction is opposite to that of forward gears, enabling the car to move backward. Principle: When the driver moves the gear lever to the reverse position, the reverse output gear inside the transmission engages with the output shaft, driving the output shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the wheels to rotate in reverse for reversing.
