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.

What is the difference between dry and wet transmissions?

Transmission dry and wet difference is in the clutch active and driven disc connection medium is different: transmission dry is by air; transmission wet is by oil. Dry dual-clutch and wet fundamentally speaking, the basic transmission principle of these two transmissions is the same, both use two clutches to work in turn. Dry dual-clutch transmission does not have a hydraulic system, its torque is transmitted through the friction plate of the driven disc; wet dual-clutch transmission clutch is installed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil. Wet dual-clutch transmission because its clutch plate is soaked in oil, the oil plays a certain cooling effect, so the performance is more stable when in use.

How to Defrost the Front Windshield in Winter?

What are the main reasons for slowing down when driving in the rain?

The main reasons for slowing down when driving in the rain are: 1. Reduced visibility for the driver; 2. Increased braking distance; 3. Higher risk of skidding during emergency braking. Regardless of the road width or surface conditions, it is advisable to use second or third gear and maintain a speed not exceeding 30 to 40 kilometers per hour when driving in the rain. Always pay attention to the distance between your vehicle and the vehicles in front and behind you, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures. When you need to stop, try to slow down about 100 meters in advance and apply the brakes gently to give the following vehicle enough time to prepare for emergency situations, thereby avoiding collisions or rear-end accidents caused by sudden braking.

What is the idle motor matching method?

Idle motor matching method: 1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery, wait for more than 5 minutes, then reset and start the vehicle to check if the current idle speed is normal; 2. Turn on the ignition switch for 10 seconds, then turn it off for more than 15 seconds. Repeat this several times and then start the vehicle. Generally, the idle motor can perform self-learning. Adjusting the idle speed must be done under normal conditions, including normal engine temperature, proper valve clearance, normal ignition system, good sealing of all pipes, fully open choke valve, and tightly closed throttle valve. The idle motor is a component that controls the idle speed of a motor vehicle. When the engine is running without load, it is called idle speed.
