Which Gear to Use When Changing Lanes?
1 Answers
Use first gear when changing lanes. Here are some additional details: Voice prompt: You can follow voice instructions to change lanes. Generally, when the voice prompts you to overtake, you should first turn on the left turn signal for 3 seconds in advance. After confirming it is safe, accelerate into the left lane, being careful not to turn the steering wheel too sharply—gradually merge into the fast lane. Once fully in the lane, promptly turn off the turn signal. If the voice prompts you to pull over, first turn on the right turn signal for 3 seconds, check the rearview mirror to confirm safety, then slowly merge into the slow lane. Once fully in the lane, turn off the turn signal. Left lane change: After the voice prompts you to overtake or change to the left lane, you can use 3rd gear or higher. Typically, 3rd gear is suitable for speeds of 20-40 km/h, 4th gear for 40-60 km/h, and 5th gear for speeds above 60 km/h. Adjust the gear according to the speed requirements of the left lane. For example, if the left lane requires a speed of 40-60 km/h, you can use 4th gear for the lane change. Right lane change: When changing to the right lane, you can maintain the current gear and gradually merge into the right lane. Once fully in the lane, you may downshift by one gear.
