You're driving an automatic, the car should select the correct gear for you. However some automatics allow the driver to select low gears for use in slow moving traffic for example. If you feel you need more power when driving uphill then select one of the lower gears.
In gear. Whichever one... doesn't really matter.
In gear. Whichever one... doesn't really matter.
Once you have achieved highway speed, you would stay in the highest gear, except for steep uphill or downhill grades.
Driver use gear 'L' or '2' when driving uphill or downhill which required higher gear ratio to move the uphill. Downhill wise, driver use '2' or 'L' for safety purpose. The low gear ratio will use the high gear ratio to slow down the speed of driving downhill and creating 'pulling' force on your car to safety purposes. Gear '2' can be use for overtaking on the highway too provided at the appropriate speed.
It depends on the gearing of the car. If you are in the highest gear and 40mph in that gear is under the idle rpm of that car than you will stall.
Driving a manual car involves several fundamental steps. Firstly, ensure the car is in neutral by pressing the clutch pedal and shifting the gear stick to the middle position. Start the engine and gradually press the clutch while shifting the gear stick into first gear. Slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start moving. To change gears, lift off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift to the desired gear, and then release the clutch while gradually applying the accelerator again. Rem
You will smell it burning and your engine will slip as you pull away in first gear and while going uphill.
When you are driving a car with a manual transmission, you do not move at the normal, rapid speed of driving until you have shifted into 3rd gear. So metaphorically, you can say that to do something with a suitable speed involves getting in gear.
Your question doesn't give much detail but the car may not go into gear while you're driving (manual only) because the car's speed and engine speed are not suitable for the gear. E.g. If you're driving at 100km/h (60mph) it could become very difficult to change down to first gear.
Nothing. It will keep on driving. There is a safety on the gear that will not enable it to be activated while in movement. It may destroy your gear though.
