Expanded Definition
Expanded definition is used to define technical
terms with a very detailed explanation, sometimes,
with the use of examples and visuals. Expanded
definitions are usually found in academic texts
(Gonzales, et al., 2017).

Process
The process of speeding up in a vehicle begins with the setting of the gear level to
the first gear. This moves the vehicle from a stationary to a slow speed of about less
than ten kilometers per hour (kph). Gradually you shift the gear to the next, pressing
the accelerator pedal at the same time to attain a speed between 10-30 kph. You pick
up more speed by shifting gears to the next higher levels at speed beyond 30 kph. To
do this, however along with the shift or fourth gear, ever-increasing pressure must
be exerted on the accelerator. The only time you lift your foot from the accelerator is
when you shift gears, so that you can step on the clutch pedal simultaneously with
the shifting. After releasing the clutch pedal, you immediately step on the
accelerator pedal while picking up speed. Maximum speed is attained once you shift
to the fourth, or in the case of some vehicles, the fifth gear, at which you travel at
speeds of 80 kph or above (Gorgon, et al., 2010).
