What is the middle pedal in a car called?
1 Answers
The middle pedal in a car is the brake pedal, which is used to slow down or stop the vehicle. From left to right, the pedals in a car are the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The brake pedal is the largest among the three, and its sensitivity and travel distance vary depending on the car model. Here are some details about car pedals: 1. Normally, only manual transmission cars have three pedals. Automatic transmission cars, controlled by the onboard computer for gear shifting, do not require a clutch pedal and only have the accelerator and brake pedals. 2. While driving, the left foot controls the clutch, and the right foot controls the brake and accelerator. When not in use, the left foot should not rest on the pedal; there is a designated area in the driver's compartment for the left foot. Keeping the left foot on the pedal during long drives can lead to unintentional pressing, which can be very dangerous while driving.
