How to Avoid Confusing the Accelerator with the Brake?
1 Answers
Methods to distinguish between the accelerator and brake are as follows: 1. Manual transmission models: The middle pedal is the brake, and the far right is the accelerator. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. In manual transmission models, the clutch pedal can only be pressed with the left foot when shifting gears. During normal driving, the left foot should not rest on any pedal. Both the brake and accelerator are controlled solely by the right foot. 2. Automatic transmission models: The far left pedal is the brake, and the far right is the accelerator. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require manual gear shifting as the car shifts gears automatically, hence there is no clutch pedal, only accelerator and brake pedals, both operated by the right foot. During driving, the left foot should not be placed on the brake pedal.
