Quick Answer: What Is the Brake Pedal

Which pedal is the brake pedal?

The brake pedal is located on the floor to the left of the accelerator. When pressed, it applies the brakes, causing the vehicle to slow down and/or stop. You must use your right foot (with your heel on ground) to exert force on the pedal to cause the brakes to engage.

What is a foot brake pedal?

The foot brake is used to reduce the car’s speed while driving. The car is equipped with two brake circuits for safety reasons. If a brake circuit is damaged then the brake pedal will engage deeper and a higher pressure on the pedal is needed to produce the normal braking effect.
