What speed should you reduce to when shifting from 4th gear to 3rd gear?
1 Answers
When downshifting from 4th gear to 3rd gear, the vehicle speed should be reduced to around 30 km/h. Correct downshifting procedure: When in 4th gear, the vehicle speed is typically between 40-60 km/h. At this point, you can first lightly apply the brakes to reduce speed to an appropriate range of 30-40 km/h. If the speed drops too low, gently press the accelerator to maintain speed between 30-40 km/h. Then fully depress the clutch, shift into 3rd gear, and gradually release the clutch until completely engaged. This completes the 4th-to-3rd gear downshift operation. Important notes for downshifting: During the deceleration and downshifting process in driving test (Subject 3), avoid gear skipping as the gearbox is equipped with sensors - skipping gears is considered improper operation. Also pay attention to matching speed with current gear position, otherwise you may lose points or even fail. In daily driving, gear skipping is permissible - simply select the appropriate gear based on current speed.
