Clutch, brake, accelerator pedal diagram, clutch and brake difference
The pedal cloth for manual gear is usually the clutch pedal on the far left, which is controlled by the left foot when driving. In the middle is the brake pedal, responsible for the vehicle braking; On the far right is the gas pedal, which accelerates the vehicle. The brake and accelerator pedals are controlled by the right foot. In order to enable the driver to distinguish between the brake and gas pedals, the design of the gas pedal area is smaller and lighter, and the brake pedal area is larger, stepping on the foot more heavy.
The difference between Clutch and brake
The function of the clutch is to separate the power during transmission. During driving, putting the clutch on is equivalent to putting the car in neutral, allowing the car to continue sliding forward while power is cut off, without braking. So in front of obstacles can not directly step on the clutch, because the vehicle will not decelerate, if it is in the downhill to decelerate, then step on the clutch not only will not decelerate, the vehicle will also have the risk of acceleration because of its own inertia.
The role of the clutch is only used when starting and braking. Because clutch and gear are in an opposite relationship, the clutch should be stepped down when shifting. When there is no need to shift, the clutch can be released and the car can run normally.
Now, The role of the brake is very simple, is in the need to step on the brake pedal, and then the vehicle deceleration, because the braking force of the brake is directly on the wheels, so in danger when the first reaction should step on the brake, rather than clutch. The biggest difference between brake and clutch is that the brake can have a more direct intervention on the speed of the vehicle, but the clutch will only make the vehicle lose power, and will not make the speed of the vehicle decreased significantly.
Now the clutch is a very old transmission device. With the development of science and technology, many models have abandoned the traditional manual clutch, instead of more advanced automatic clutch, which is what we call automatic transmission car. Through the computer to more accurate control of the clutch, and also eliminate the cumbersome steps of the clutch, reduce the accident rate at the same time, but also let our cars become more reliable.
