I just bought a car and feel like I really can't drive it [facepalm]. I accidentally rev it too high. How many RPMs do you usually shift at? Before looking at the owner's manual, I was shifting at around 5000 RPM. Now my display shows an average fuel consumption of 10.4, and after driving just over 200 kilometers, the fuel tank is empty. My goodness 🤦, I'm refilling the tank once a week now. So should I shift when the dashboard suggests an upshift? Can I just shift from fourth or fifth gear to neutral when stopping at a red light, or is it better to downshift to third gear before going to neutral?

You can set the shift reminder yourself. I usually shift at over 4000 RPM. If you shift at 1000-2000 RPM, it loses the fun. You can shift to neutral from any gear. Just make sure you know the maximum RPM for each gear, and avoid downshifting from high speed to a low gear.

Shift gears at 2000 RPM, and a full tank should typically cover 500 kilometers.

The sound suggests that shifting gears at 3000 RPM feels the most comfortable.

The fuel tank indicator shows there's about 8 liters of fuel left. Saying it can go over 200 kilometers seems a bit exaggerated, right? Shifting gears normally at 3000 RPM should be enough. You can downshift freely, but definitely just shift to neutral.

Is there a situation where it shifts to neutral by itself when reversing in reverse gear?

Hey guys, I have a 1.6 manual Liana. At what RPM do you usually shift gears?

How do I force the car into neutral gear?

Is it normal for the Sharan to shift gears at 3000 RPM when climbing?

2017 model 1.4T, now the temperature is around 3°C. When I start the car, the RPM is at 1200, and when I start driving with a cold engine, the RPM goes above 3000 before it shifts gears, and it feels shaky. Do you guys experience this too?

Guys, I'm really freaking out. Just now, while driving smoothly, the D gear light (the one on the gear shift) started flashing, and the dashboard showed "Please shift to D gear first before selecting the appropriate gear." I was in a panic and didn't know whether to press the brake and shift to P gear or shift to P gear and then to D gear, and then it prompted "Speed too high to shift into D gear (or maybe P gear, I forgot)." It was terrifying, the car felt like it was in neutral and there was no power when I pressed the accelerator. I managed to park on the side using inertia, shifted back to P gear, and then to D gear, and it resumed normal driving. I want to ask you guys, what's going on here exactly? Is there a specific part that's malfunctioning?

For a 1.4T manual transmission, at what RPM is it generally best to upshift? Also, if you position the ring below, does it prevent shifting into reverse?

Before driving, I can only shift gears by pressing the shift lock button, and once I shift back to the P gear, I have to press the lock button again to shift! The brake lights are working fine! I recently replaced the handbrake cable and gear cable. Has anyone else experienced this situation?

I have a 2014 Honda City automatic. Recently, I've been having trouble shifting from neutral to drive (it can shift, but not smoothly). Other gears are fine, and this issue just started a few days ago. Does anyone know what's going on? Looking for expert advice!
