Which Pedal is the Brake and Which is the Accelerator in a Car?
1 Answers
In a manual transmission vehicle, there are three pedals arranged from left to right: the first is the clutch, the second is the brake, and the third is the accelerator. The left foot controls the clutch, while the right foot controls both the brake and the accelerator. In an automatic transmission vehicle, there are only two pedals: the brake pedal on the left and the accelerator pedal on the right, both controlled by the right foot. Below is relevant information: Brake: The brake system consists of brake calipers and brake pads installed on the wheel hub, with a master brake cylinder in the driver's compartment. Brake cylinders can be hydraulic, pneumatic, or lever-operated. Operating the master brake cylinder applies braking force to slow down or stop the moving vehicle. Accelerator: The accelerator controls the fuel injection volume of the engine. Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the fuel injection, resulting in higher engine RPM and faster vehicle speed.
