Will the car keep running at idle speed in third gear?
1 Answers
Hanging in third gear at idle speed will not keep the car running continuously. The functions of car gears are as follows: 1. First gear: Starting gear, used for initiating the car's movement, not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. 2. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating roads and handling complex situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded and bustling areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third gear: Transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. It allows for easy acceleration to fourth gear or deceleration to second gear. 4. Fourth gear: Cruising gear, mainly used for extended high-speed driving and economical operation. Most vehicles achieve their economical speed in the lower speed range of fourth gear.
