What are the three pedals in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have three pedals: the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal, and the parking brake pedal. Their positions are right, middle, and far left respectively. Accelerator pedal: Its main function is to control the throttle opening of the engine, thereby regulating the engine's power output. Brake pedal: As the name suggests, it is the pedal that limits power, specifically the foot brake (service brake) pedal, used for deceleration and stopping the vehicle. Parking brake pedal: Typically refers to the manual brake installed in motor vehicles, used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. Only some automatic transmission models have all three pedals mentioned above; most automatic cars only have the brake and accelerator pedals. Additional information: Manual transmission cars all have three pedals, from left to right: the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. While driving, the right foot controls the brake and accelerator pedals, while the left foot operates the clutch (left foot rests in automatic transmissions), coordinating the clutch and accelerator to shift into appropriate gears.
