- in first gear, press the gas pedal and, listening to the operation of the engine, if there is a tachometer, control the increase in the number of revolutions of the crankshaft, and according to the speedometer - an increase in speed up to 15-20 km / h;
- move your right hand to the gear lever;
- with your left foot, press the clutch pedal sharply to the end and smoothly release the gas pedal, do not remove your foot from the gas pedal;
- with a sharp but light pressure, move the gear lever to the neutral position, press it slightly to the left and with a light and sharp movement shift the lever to second gear;
- with your left foot faster than before, but do not abruptly release the clutch pedal while gradually pressing the gas pedal with your right foot;
- when driving in second gear, press the gas pedal and listen to the noise of the engine, it increases; if there is a tachometer, then you control the growth of crankshaft speed on the speedometer - an increase in speed to 30-35 km / h;
- depress the clutch pedal sharply to the end and at the same time gradually loosen the gain on the gas pedal, do not remove your foot from the gas pedal;
- with a sharp but light push, shift the gear lever to the neutral position, slightly press the lever to the right, with a sharp but light movement, shift the lever to third gear;
- faster than before, but not abruptly, release the clutch pedal while pressing the gas pedal.
When shifting gears, you must carefully monitor the road; do not shift gears hastily, but with a light movement, always shift to neutral gear, and then to the desired one, but do not linger in neutral gear; do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal depressed for a long time; keep your right hand on the gear lever only during gear changes, it is needed on the steering wheel.
Attention. Stroke in «top ten» longer than in other cars, so gear changes are slower, which athletes do not like. Firstly, it seems so at first, you just need to get used to it, or rather, just learn how to quickly switch, and that's it. And secondly, «ten» was done for choleric people, there are more of them, because at first they think, and then they do. But for sanguine people, tuning companies shorten the stroke of the stock.
«Ten» with a 1.5-liter engine performs on an equal footing in terms of dynamics with «six», in which the volume is larger, and with the 2112 engine, it has better acceleration dynamics. And why? At the beginning of this section, we talked about the forces that create resistance to the movement of the car, and then considered overcoming the forces of friction when starting off. air resistance force «top ten» less to overcome, and «the six» more. Thanks to the reduction in aerodynamics, the released power is immediately transferred to faster acceleration or easier climbing without changing gears.
«Ten» has become more dynamic than its predecessors, this contributes to active safety, but requires accurate calculation if sanguine people want to drive fast, risky overtaking, and brake sharply. The price of mistakes increases, and therefore the professional training of the driver «dozens» should increase.
