How Should Your Feet Be Positioned When Driving an Automatic Transmission Car?

[Carole]

Left foot on the left side, use the right foot to control the accelerator and brake. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Never use the left foot for braking and the right foot for acceleration, as this can easily lead to control errors and danger in emergency situations or when overly nervous. 2. Automatic transmission cars only have a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal, controlled by the right foot. The left foot is idle and does not participate in driving; it can naturally rest on the vehicle floor or the left-side footrest. 3. Before starting the car, ensure the gear lever is in P or N. When starting, always remember to brake, control the handbrake and accelerator with both hands, shift to D gear, release the handbrake while slowly lifting the brake, then lightly press the accelerator to let the car start gently. Avoid stomping on the accelerator, as this can damage the vehicle and increase fuel consumption. Note: Do not release the brake pedal when shifting gears.
