Which gear should be used when starting a car?
1 Answers
When starting a car, use 1st gear. Below are specific tips for shifting gears in a manual transmission car: 1. When starting the vehicle: After idling the car for about half a minute, press the clutch, shift into 1st gear, simultaneously press the foot brake with your right foot, release the handbrake with your right hand, and slowly release the clutch. 2. While driving: When the speed reaches 15 to 20 km/h, shift into 2nd gear. When the speed reaches 25 to 30 km/h, shift into 3rd gear. 3. Decelerating and stopping: Apply the brake to reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level, then press the clutch and shift into neutral.
