Which Gear Should Be Used for a U-Turn?
1 Answers
Use first gear for a U-turn. Benefits of using first gear for a U-turn: First gear is less likely to stall. During the U-turn, once the clutch is fully engaged, you can release the clutch, throttle, and brake completely, focusing all your attention on steering. Since a U-turn requires consideration of traffic from both directions, using first gear ensures sufficient time to react. When to use first gear: In addition to U-turns, first gear is also necessary when starting the vehicle. When the vehicle speed is below 10 km/h, first gear should be used to avoid damaging the clutch plates.
