What is the standard for matching engine speed and gear?
1 Answers
Shift to second gear when the engine speed is approximately 1000-1500 RPM and the speed is 10 km/h. Shift to third gear when the speed reaches 30 km/h. Shift to fourth gear when the speed reaches 40 km/h. Shift to fifth gear when the engine speed is around 2500-3000 RPM. Driving modes: Launch mode: Maintain the engine speed at around 4000 RPM. At this point, the torque output is at its maximum. When the clutch is released, the car will surge forward with the strongest burst of power, and the drive wheels may spin slightly. However, if the throttle is well controlled, idling can be minimized. Cornering mode: When cornering, if the throttle is opened too much, a high-powered rear-wheel-drive car may experience oversteer or even spin. Therefore, the speed should not be too high, depending on the horsepower. For a front-wheel-drive car like the 206, even with the throttle pressed, higher speeds are manageable as front-wheel-drive cars have better directional correction capabilities. Snow/Ice mode: Avoid skidding as much as possible. Apply less throttle when starting, or even start at a near-idle speed. In low gears, the speed generally should not exceed 3000 km/h.
