Which One is the Accelerator, Brake, and Clutch?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars have three pedals, from left to right: the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal; automatic transmission cars only have two pedals, from left to right: the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Normally, the left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot controls the brake and accelerator. The brake, clutch, and accelerator work in coordination: 1. Starting: Press the clutch with the left foot, step on the brake with the right foot, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, then slowly lift the clutch with the left foot. When the car begins to vibrate slightly, move the right foot to the accelerator pedal and gently press it while continuing to release the clutch. The car will start smoothly, and once the clutch is fully released with the left foot, press the accelerator to prepare for shifting. 2. Upshifting: Release the accelerator pedal, quickly press the clutch pedal with the left foot, shift the gear lever to the corresponding gear, release the clutch pedal, and while releasing the clutch, gently press the accelerator with the right foot.
