Which side is the accelerator in a car?
1 Answers
In the car's cabin, the first pedal on the right side is the accelerator. The accelerator pedal does not directly control the fuel injection quantity. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, it directly controls the throttle valve. The throttle opening will increase, allowing more air to enter the engine. The ECU will then command the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, causing the engine speed to rise and the car to accelerate. When using the accelerator in daily driving, it is essential to press it slowly and release it quickly. After releasing the accelerator, the foot must be placed on the brake pedal to be ready for stopping at any time. Do not keep the foot on the accelerator, as this can easily lead to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake in an emergency, resulting in a serious accident.
