1 Answers
Manual transmission cars have three pedals, from left to right they are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The left pedal: Clutch pedal. The clutch pedal is used when starting or shifting gears. The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, and it can connect or disconnect the engine from the transmission. The clutch pedal is unique to manual transmissions. Different car models have clutch pedals with varying weights and heights, which results in different driving characteristics. The middle pedal: Brake pedal. The brake pedal controls the braking system. Pressing the brake pedal will slow down the car. The brake pedal is the largest among the three pedals. Different car models have varying brake sensitivity and pedal travel. The right pedal: Accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal, also called the throttle pedal, is used to control the vehicle's speed by regulating the amount of air entering the engine cylinders during acceleration.
