Do You Need to Keep Pressing the Accelerator While Driving?

[LeSara]

Whether you need to keep pressing the accelerator while driving depends on the road conditions. Here are the details: 1. While driving, if there is no need to slow down or stop, your right foot should continuously press the accelerator pedal (if the vehicle has electronic cruise control, you don't need to press the accelerator pedal continuously after activating it). 2. If you need to slow down or stop, your right foot should move away from the accelerator pedal and, if necessary, press the brake pedal. If you are preparing to stop, your right foot should move away from the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal. After coming to a complete stop, if you don't intend to turn off the engine, there's no need to press the accelerator pedal, as the engine will automatically idle.
