Where is the accelerator pedal located in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator pedal is located below the driver's seat. Here is detailed information about the car accelerator: 1. Overview: The accelerator, also known as the "throttle" or "gas pedal," is a control device that regulates engine power. In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle valve opening to adjust the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power. 2. Additional Information: In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the fuel regulator's metered fuel flow, determining the engine's thrust. The accelerator pedal position is controlled by the driver in the cockpit through the throttle lever, which transmits commands via linkage rods, rocker arms, torque tubes, cables, pulleys, sector gears, and other control system components to the engine's carburetor or fuel regulator.
