What is the correct foot placement while driving?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the right foot should alternate between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, while the left foot remains idle. Below are driving tips for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Starting technique: Before starting, press the brake pedal, and ensure the gear is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. After ignition, shift into the appropriate gear. 2. Overtaking technique: After pressing the accelerator, when the RPM rises to the gear shift range (approximately 2000-2500 RPM), slightly release the accelerator and then press it again for smoother gear shifting. 3. Low gear usage technique: When driving on slopes, frequent gear shifting can increase wear on the transmission friction plates. Therefore, select L, 1, or 2 gear based on the slope gradient to maintain the transmission in that gear. Forcing the gear to lock can effectively protect the friction plates and extend their lifespan.
