Where are the brake and accelerator positions in a sedan?
1 Answers
In a sedan, the brake is positioned in the middle, and the accelerator is on the far right. Tips for distinguishing between the brake and accelerator: 1. Left brake, right accelerator: The left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator—establish this as a natural and firm concept in your mind. 2. Heel under the brake: Drivers should develop the habit of placing their heel directly below the brake pedal, allowing them to brake immediately in emergencies. 3. Press the accelerator diagonally and the brake straight: Since the heel is positioned directly below the brake pedal, pressing the brake involves a vertical downward motion, while the accelerator is to the right of the brake, requiring the toes to move rightward diagonally without moving the heel. 4. Rest your foot on the brake when idle: When not accelerating, keep your foot on the brake pedal to be ready for braking at any moment. Placing it near the accelerator might lead to accidental pressing in a panic, whereas keeping it on the brake ensures better preparedness for sudden situations.
