Which gear should be used for long downhill descents?
1 Answers
For long downhill descents, you should shift to the L gear. Below is relevant information about gear shifting: 1. Concept: Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles. 2. Function: It allows the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which is difficult to achieve solely by the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine; the reverse gear of the transmission enables the car to move backward; its neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the drivetrain for extended periods during engine start-up, parking, and coasting.
