WHAT DOES BRAKE PEDAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

brake pedal

Automobile pedal

An automobile may have two to four pedals. The arrangement is the same for both right- and left-hand traffic. From left to right: ▪ normally operated by the left foot: ▪ clutch pedal, not in the case of automatic transmission ▪ normally operated by the right foot: ▪ brake pedal, which is sometimes wide and elevated above the car floor ▪ throttle, controls fuel and air supply to the automobile's engine. It is usually narrow and close to the car floor allowing the driver's heel to rest on the car floor. It has a fail-safe design in that it automatically returns to the idle position when not depressed by the driver. Some vehicles have a parking brake pedal instead of a hand brake lever. Pedals can be either "hanging" from the firewall or "standing" on the floor. Since the right foot is normally used there is no foot rest on the right, not even in cars with cruise control. The left foot only has to operate the clutch intermittently so sometimes a foot rest is provided to the left of the pedals.
