Which side is the brake and which side is the accelerator in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
In automatic transmission models, the left pedal is the brake, and the right pedal is the accelerator, with only two pedals in total. An automatic transmission means the driver does not need to manually shift gears; instead, the vehicle's computer automatically shifts gears based on road and driving conditions. Here are some braking tips: 1. Brake gently—avoid sudden braking, as it can cause the vehicle to "nose-dive." 2. Brake in advance—maintain a safe following distance and anticipate road conditions to brake early. 3. For long downhill braking, use engine braking to assist, as excessive use of the brake pedal can overheat the brake pads. 4. For corner braking, slow down before entering the curve, coast into the curve, and accelerate out of it. 5. On rainy days or gravel roads, use "pump braking" (light, repeated taps on the brake pedal) to avoid skidding.
