What do the three pedals under a car represent?
1 Answers
The three pedals under a car are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The function of the clutch pedal is to adjust the clutch; pressing the clutch pedal disengages the clutch, while releasing it engages the clutch. Pressing the brake pedal slows the car down, and pressing the accelerator pedal increases the throttle opening, causing the engine speed to rise. These three pedals are unique to manual transmission vehicles. The weight and height of the clutch pedal vary across different car models, resulting in different operational orientations. Modern clutches use hydraulic assistance, and if air enters the hydraulic system, it can cause issues such as incomplete clutch disengagement and difficulty in shifting gears.
