How to Avoid Mistaking the Brake for the Accelerator?

[AvaLee]

Methods to avoid mistaking the brake for the accelerator include: 1. Stay focused while driving and keep your vision far ahead; 2. Develop good driving habits; 3. Form the habit of placing your right foot on the brake when not accelerating. Methods for braking under different conditions are: 1. In case of abnormal brake pedal, use engine braking and shift to a lower gear; 2. In heavy traffic, press the brake pedal gently; 3. On rainy or muddy roads, lightly press the brake pedal repeatedly; 4. In emergency situations, firmly press the brake pedal immediately, then release it slowly, followed by repeatedly pressing and releasing the brake pedal gently. The accelerator is located on the right side below the driver's compartment, as the first pedal. The accelerator pedal does not directly control fuel injection. When pressed, it controls the throttle valve, increasing its opening to allow more air into the engine. The ECU then commands the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, increasing the engine's RPM and accelerating the vehicle.
