How to Distinguish Between the Accelerator and Brake Pedals

[DiJade]

Methods to distinguish between the accelerator and brake pedals: You can differentiate them by their positions. For both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, the left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. Many people may confuse the two pedals. Automatic transmission vehicles have no clutch pedal, only brake and accelerator pedals, both controlled by the right foot. As long as you don't use both feet simultaneously, the likelihood of confusion is minimal. Automatic transmission generally refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Most automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).
