Which Pedal is the Brake and Which is the Accelerator?
1 Answers
Brake and accelerator pedals are as follows: automatic transmission vehicles have two pedals, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal; manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The function of the brake is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Its working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the road surface, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the vehicle to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine from the gearbox for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impacts from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of the transmission gears.
