Where are the accelerator and brake pedals located on the Vezel?
2 Answers
The accelerator pedal of the Vezel is located on the right side below the driver's seat, while the brake pedal is typically designed on the left side of the accelerator, to the right of the clutch pedal in manual transmission models. For automatic transmission models, braking simply requires pressing the brake pedal. It is important to note that during braking, the gear lever should not be shifted to neutral, as this can negatively affect the lubrication of the transmission gears, potentially damaging the transmission, and also prevents the use of engine braking. The Vezel's body dimensions are 4328 mm in length, 1772 mm in width, and 1605 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. It features front-wheel drive, a MacPherson strut front suspension, a torsion beam rear suspension, and a unibody construction.
In my experience driving the Vezel, the accelerator pedal is positioned at the far right directly in front of the driver's right foot—it's the pedal that makes the car accelerate when pressed. The brake pedal is located immediately to its left, slightly higher in design to prevent accidental pressing. This layout isn't unique to the Honda Vezel; it's common in almost all automatic transmission cars, intended to allow drivers to instinctively switch from the accelerator to the brake with their right foot in emergencies without thinking about the positions. I remember worrying about pressing the wrong pedal when I first started driving, but with practice, the positions became muscle memory. For safety, if the pedals are abnormal—such as loose or misaligned—it could lead to accidents. It's recommended to check the pedal's firmness monthly, especially before long trips. In daily driving, maintain a good driving posture with your heel fixed on the floor and use the ball of your foot to flexibly control both pedals.
