Which is the accelerator and which is the brake in a car?

Cars have different pedal arrangements for automatic and manual transmissions: 1. In automatic transmission vehicles, the brake pedal is located on the left side, while the accelerator pedal is on the right. 2. For manual transmission cars, there are three pedals: the leftmost is the clutch pedal, the middle one is the brake pedal, and the rightmost is the accelerator pedal. Here are some details about the accelerator and brake: (1) The accelerator pedal doesn't directly control fuel injection. When pressed, it primarily regulates the throttle valve. Depressing the accelerator increases the throttle opening, allowing more air into the engine. The ECU then commands the fuel injection system to increase fuel supply, raising engine RPM and accelerating the vehicle. (2) Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake pads to clamp the brake discs, slowing the vehicle. The braking system consists of a vacuum booster, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake discs.
