What is the hand gesture for shifting into first gear?
1 Answers
Shifting into first gear involves placing the palm downward, covering the head of the gear lever, gripping it tightly with all five fingers, then pushing it to the left and forward to engage the gear. When starting the vehicle: Allow the car to idle for about half a minute after starting, then press the clutch, shift into first gear, simultaneously press the foot brake with the right foot, release the handbrake with the right hand, and slowly lift the clutch. While driving: When the speed reaches 15 to 20 km/h, shift into second gear. When the speed reaches 25 to 30 km/h, shift into third gear. Slowing down or stopping: Apply the brake to reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level, then press the clutch and shift into neutral.
