Is the middle pedal the accelerator or the brake?
1 Answers
The middle pedal is the brake, and the one on the right is the accelerator. Manual transmission cars have three pedals: the left one is the clutch, the middle one is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. Automatic transmission cars have two pedals: the left one is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. The brake is a crucial system in a car, mainly composed of the vacuum booster, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, and brake pads. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the vacuum booster provides assistance, the master cylinder pushes the wheel cylinder through brake fluid, and the wheel cylinder then presses the brake pads against the brake disc, slowing the car down. Brake fluid is a liquid that easily absorbs moisture. If the brake fluid contains too much water, it can reduce braking force and increase stopping distance, affecting the car's stability and safety. It is recommended that car owners replace the brake fluid regularly.
