1 Answers
The correct sequence for operating the clutch, brake, and accelerator for learners: 1. A manual transmission car has three pedals, arranged from left to right as: clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Coordinating the operation of these three pedals is the most frequent driving action in a manual transmission car and one of the key factors reflecting a learner's driving proficiency. 2. When releasing the accelerator pedal, only the ball of the foot needs to slightly lift off the pedal, while the heel should remain stationary without any backward movement. After shifting gears, gradually lift the clutch pedal until reaching the semi-engagement point, then gently press the accelerator. Once the left foot has fully released the clutch pedal, place it on the left-side footrest. 3. During driving, the right foot alternates between controlling the accelerator and brake pedals—use the accelerator for starting and accelerating, and the brake pedal for stopping and decelerating. Keep the heel grounded during operation, with minimal heel movement when switching between pedals.
