Which One is the Accelerator and Which One is the Brake?
1 Answers
The rightmost pedal is the accelerator pedal, and the one to its left is the brake pedal. Below are the positions and design purposes of these two pedals: How to Identify the Accelerator and Brake Positions: In automatic transmission vehicles, the accelerator and brake are easier to identify. There are only two pedals located below the driver's console, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled by the right foot. Design Purpose of the Accelerator and Brake: Based on ergonomics, the pedals are designed to allow drivers to react quickly in emergencies. To prevent confusion between the accelerator and brake while driving an automatic vehicle, manufacturers design the accelerator pedal to be lower and the brake pedal relatively higher. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake during driving, thereby preventing potential hazards.
