Is the Left Side for Brake and Right Side for Accelerator Correct?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake and the right pedal is the accelerator. The accelerator and brake setup in automatic cars is relatively simple, consisting of only two pedals located below the driver's seat and the console. From left to right, they are the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled solely by the right foot. The gear shift is positioned in front of the center console on the right side, easily visible upon entering the car. Below is relevant information about automatic transmission cars: 1. The primary reason for placing the brake on the left and the accelerator on the right is due to the more frequent use of the accelerator. It is designed on the outer side of the right foot, which is a more comfortable position for the body. The brake is set on the inner side of the right foot, with the brake pedal slightly higher than the accelerator pedal to enhance the driver's quick response. The correct operation method involves pivoting the right heel and using the sole of the foot to press the pedals. 2. For manual transmission models, the driver uses both legs to control three pedals. Since the brake and accelerator cannot be pressed simultaneously, if an accidental operation results in both pedals being pressed, the vehicle's electronic system intervenes, and the onboard computer ECU defaults to a brake-priority principle. Therefore, the left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot manages the brake and accelerator.
