Which side is the accelerator in an automatic car?
1 Answers
In an automatic car, the accelerator is on the right side. Automatic transmission models only have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, both of which are controlled by the right foot. The brake pedal is on the left, and the accelerator pedal is on the right. To prevent misjudgment while driving an automatic car, the accelerator pedal is designed lower and the brake pedal higher when the car is manufactured. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake, thereby preventing accidents. When driving an automatic car, it is essential to always pay attention to the brake, regardless of the road conditions, so that immediate braking measures can be taken in case of an emergency. Compared to manual transmission cars, driving an automatic car allows the left foot to be free, eliminating the need for frequent gear shifting while driving.
