Is the larger one the brake or the accelerator?

In automatic transmission models, the rightmost pedal is the accelerator. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as clutch, brake, and accelerator, with the left foot controlling the clutch and the right foot controlling the brake and accelerator. Automatic transmission vehicles only have two pedals, arranged from left to right as brake and accelerator, controlled solely by the right foot. Below are precautions for driving automatic transmission cars: 1. Use the right foot for both brake and accelerator: Both the brake and accelerator are operated by the same foot, typically the right foot. This design is for safety considerations, as it enhances safety during emergency situations when people are prone to panic. 2. Maintain balance when braking: When pressing the brake or accelerator, the body needs support to maintain balance. When the right foot is on the pedal, the left foot can stabilize the body on the floor. If both feet were placed on the brake and accelerator separately, both feet would be in a semi-suspended state without a stable point of support, making it easy to cause instability when pressing the accelerator or brake.

How to Check Transmission Fluid?

Detecting transmission fluid involves the following steps: 1. Let the engine idle to warm up the fluid to around 50 degrees Celsius; 2. Move the gear lever through each position for 2 seconds to ensure the torque converter and all shift actuators are filled with hydraulic fluid, then shift to park; 3. Check the transmission fluid level using the dipstick—normal fluid level should be between the high and low marks. The dangers of not changing transmission fluid for a long time include: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impaired transmission operation, leading to damage of the valve body.

What does autoh mean in a car?

Autoh in a car refers to the Auto Hold system, which is a technological application that enables automatic handbrake functionality during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary rolling when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. The main functions of the Auto Hold system include: 1. Providing short stops during driving, such as at traffic lights; 2. Automatically applying the brakes during uphill starts to prevent rolling back, releasing the wheels automatically when sufficient forward traction is achieved for ascending the slope; 3. Automatically engaging the wheel brakes when parking and locking the vehicle, eliminating the need to manually apply the handbrake.

What to Do If the Newly Replaced Engine Has a Shaking Problem?

If the newly replaced engine has a shaking problem, the first step is to identify the specific cause of the shaking. If the shaking is severe, it is recommended to contact a 4S shop for inspection. Even with a newly replaced engine, issues such as excessively thick engine oil condition, insufficient belt tension, poor fuel quality, or cold engine starts can still cause car shaking. The maintenance methods for the engine include: 1. Using qualified engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant and antifreeze; 3. Regularly cleaning the radiator scale; 4. Regularly removing engine carbon deposits; 5. Regularly replacing the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed. The engine consists of the valve train, crankshaft-connecting rod mechanism, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system, and fuel supply system.

How to Remove the Fog Light Cover on a Focus?

The method for removing the fog light cover on a Focus is as follows: First, insert two scrapers into the clips at the top and bottom of the cover (the clips on the left and right sides can be ignored for now). Then, use a hooked handle to pull firmly, and the fog light cover can be removed. The assembly for removing the fog light cover requires disconnecting the fuse, and it is essential to remove the screws of the fog light. It is recommended to have this done at a 4S shop or repair shop. The 2020 Focus features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122 PS, a maximum power of 90 kW, and a maximum torque of 153 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

What Happens If a Car Doesn't Have Antifreeze?

If a car doesn't have antifreeze, it cannot continue to run because the primary function of antifreeze is to cool the engine. Without sufficient antifreeze, the engine temperature will keep rising without effective cooling, which can damage the engine if driving continues. If the antifreeze runs out, it is recommended to pull over, turn off the engine to lower the temperature, and only resume driving after the engine has cooled down. However, driving time should not be too long, and antifreeze should be replenished promptly. The steps to add antifreeze are: 1. Open the filler cap and drain valve; 2. Drain the old antifreeze completely; 3. Add new antifreeze; 4. Tighten the drain valve once new antifreeze starts flowing out.
