Which foot to use for brake and accelerator in an automatic car?
1 Answers
In an automatic car, the brake and accelerator are operated with the right foot. The brake and accelerator pedals are located below the main driver's position and the console, with the brake pedal on the left and the accelerator pedal on the right. The brake, also known as the stopping device, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, and other means of transport or machinery, which is achieved through the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum. The accelerator, also known as the throttle and air valve, refers to the control device that regulates the engine's power. It is operated by the driver in the cockpit through the throttle lever, which transmits the control to the carburetor or fuel regulator on the engine via the control system components. An automatic transmission means that the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions.
