Is the brake on the left or the right?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission vehicle, the brake is on the left and the accelerator is on the right. Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, the only difference underfoot is the presence or absence of a clutch. In an automatic transmission, there is no clutch on the left side, so the left foot remains idle. Automatic transmission vehicles typically use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch in manual transmission vehicles, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the vehicle forward. The reasons for unusual noises when braking in an automatic transmission vehicle are as follows: 1. Normal ABS activation: The ABS operation process is actually a cycle of locking-releasing-locking-releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lock rolling. Therefore, when the ABS is triggered by hard braking, it produces a clicking sound, which is normal. In this case, simply press the brake pedal firmly to the floor. 2. Gear noise when braking in an automatic transmission vehicle: If you hear a clicking sound between the transmission and the gear lever when pressing the brake pedal, the main reason for this noise may be the electronic linkage between the brake system and the automatic transmission. Pressing the brake activates the transmission solenoid valve, producing the clicking sound. This serves as a safety reminder, requiring the gear lever lock button to be pressed before shifting gears.
