Should the accelerator pedal be continuously pressed while driving?

While driving, you should not keep pressing the accelerator pedal continuously. When deceleration or stopping is needed, your right foot should move away from the accelerator pedal and, if necessary, press the brake pedal. Precautions for using the accelerator pedal include: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal all the way down when starting the engine; 2. Do not fully depress the accelerator pedal when the car is going uphill; 3. When using a low gear, the accelerator pedal should be pressed halfway; 4. If pressing the accelerator pedal three-quarters of the way does not result in a corresponding increase in engine speed while driving, you should shift to a lower gear and then press the accelerator pedal to accelerate. The accelerator pedal is a control mechanism for vehicle acceleration, regulating the engine's power output by controlling the throttle opening to adjust the engine's air intake.
