What is the function of the accelerator?
1 Answers
The main function of the car accelerator is to accelerate the vehicle. Without pressing the accelerator, the car would maintain its original speed, which is very slow. Therefore, the primary role of the accelerator is to provide acceleration to the car. The lower the accelerator is pressed, the greater the fuel intake of the engine, resulting in higher speed. More related information is as follows: Accelerator Pedal: The throttle of a car engine is generally controlled by a pedal, also known as the accelerator pedal, which is a device for controlling the fuel supply to the engine. The operation of the accelerator pedal should be done with the right heel resting on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot, and the foot gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the ankle joint's extension and flexion movements to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring a light press and slow release. When starting the engine: Do not press the accelerator pedal all the way down; it is better to have it slightly above the idle throttle. When starting off, it is advisable to apply the accelerator slightly before the clutch engagement point, with the throttle opening at a moderate level. Releasing the clutch should be closely coordinated with pressing the accelerator, and the action should be swift.
