What is the equivalent of high-speed third gear in low-speed gears for a four-wheeled vehicle?
1 Answers
Four-wheeled vehicle's high-speed third gear is equivalent to low-speed fifth gear. Car gears: 1st gear: Used for normal starting or climbing very steep slopes, with a speed generally around 10 km/h; 2nd gear: Transition gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed forward movement, with a speed generally around 20 km/h; 3rd gear: Used at speeds of 20-40 km/h, commonly used for city driving; 4th gear: Used at speeds of 40-60 km/h; 5th gear: Can be used at speeds of 60 km/h and above. Function of gears: When driving a car, shifting gears allows the engine to operate at its optimal performance state. All driving conditions have corresponding shift points, with the ultimate goal of reducing fuel consumption.
