In first gear uphill, the throttle can be pressed to 2000-2500 RPM, which translates to 10-20 km/h. When the front of the car slightly lifts or shakes, start releasing the brake. After the brake is fully released, gradually release the clutch. Avoid releasing the clutch too quickly, as this can easily cause the engine to stall. First gear: The starting gear, used to get the car moving. It has a similar gear ratio to reverse gear and similar performance, so it's not suitable for sustained high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the car gains momentum. First gear is only used when starting, serving as a buffer. Second gear: The passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling tricky situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. Third gear: The transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Depending on the situation, you can easily accelerate to shift to fourth gear or decelerate to shift back to second gear. Fourth gear: Fourth gear is for medium to high-speed driving, corresponding to speeds of 40-60 km/h.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car in Stop-and-Go Traffic?

When driving a manual transmission car in stop-and-go traffic, it's essential to maintain an appropriate following distance and try to reduce your speed. The most challenging situation for manual transmission drivers is navigating through congested roads, especially for beginners who have just started driving manual cars, as stalling is a common issue. A manual transmission, also known as a mechanical gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch pedal is depressed.

Why Can't the Hazard Lights Be Turned Off?

If the hazard lights keep flashing and cannot be turned off, it indicates an issue with the hazard light switch or the circuit. In such cases, the owner can directly remove the hazard light fuse to forcibly deactivate the hazard lights. When the hazard lights are on, it signifies an emergency or hazardous situation, so they should not be used casually. Vehicles are equipped with fuses, which are located in the fuse box. If a vehicle breaks down on the road and cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning lights (also known as hazard lights) should be activated immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians, and help should be sought promptly.
