Which One is the Accelerator and Which One is the Brake in an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the right pedal is the accelerator and the left pedal is the brake. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The accelerator, also known as the throttle, is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). The brake is the mechanical braking device that can slow down the car, also known as the decelerator. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake shoes on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc.
