Is the Brake Pedal Higher Than the Accelerator Pedal?
1 Answers
The height of the brake pedal is often higher than that of the accelerator pedal. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Reasons why the brake pedal is higher than the accelerator pedal: This is primarily to minimize accidental pressing of the accelerator pedal and to enhance driving comfort. 2. Dimensions of the brake pedal being higher than the accelerator pedal: After comparing over ten models with floor-mounted accelerator pedals, including German brands (Volkswagen, Audi, BMW), Japanese and Korean brands (Hyundai, Kia), and domestic brands (Geely, Great Wall, Changan, BYD), the height difference between the brake pedal surface and the floor-mounted accelerator pedal surface generally ranges between 30~50mm.
