Is the brake on the left or right in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
In automatic transmission models, the left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. Here are some relevant introductions about automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic transmission cars usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. 2. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque grows, pushing the car forward. 3. Compared to skilled drivers of manual transmission cars, under the same driving conditions, automatic transmission cars generally consume about 6-10% more fuel. Automatic transmission cars have higher fuel consumption than manual transmission cars of the same model, approximately 1 liter more per 100 kilometers. In terms of car costs, the cost of an automatic transmission is higher than that of a manual transmission in the same model. Its advantage over manual transmissions lies in its ease of driving.
