Which side is the brake and accelerator in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator. Automatic cars only have two pedals located below the driver's seat and the console, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled solely by the right foot. The gear shift is positioned in front of the center armrest on the right side, easily visible upon entering the car. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the automatic transmission's control system selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's manual judgment and gear-shifting operations. A standard automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).
