What is the accelerator pedal and what does it do?

The accelerator pedal, also known as the accelerator pedal, is mainly used to control the throttle opening of the engine, thus controlling the power output of the engine. The traditional accelerator pedal is connected with the accelerator through the accelerator cable or pull rod.

Key points: tread lightly and lift slowly, accelerate in a straight line, use soft force, not too fast, use hard on your toes, and don't shake suddenly.

The operation of the accelerator pedal should be based on the right heel stepping on the cab floor as the fulcrum, and the sole of the foot lightly stepping on the accelerator pedal, stepping down or relaxing with the extension and flexion of the ankle joint. When stepping on the accelerator pedal, the force should be gentle, so that you can step on it gently and lift it slowly.

When starting the engine, don't step on the accelerator pedal to the end, just slightly higher than the idle accelerator. When starting, it is best to refuel just before the clutch linkage point, and the throttle opening should be medium or small. Loosening the clutch should be closely coordinated with stepping on the accelerator, and the action should be agile.

When operating, increase or decrease the throttle according to the road conditions and actual needs. The selected gear should be suitable, so that the engine can run at medium speed and large throttle most of the time to save fuel. When shifting gears, the coordination of refueling, stepping on the clutch and stepping on the accelerator should be coordinated.

When the car goes uphill, it is not allowed to step on the accelerator. When using low gear, it is generally appropriate to step on the accelerator half. When the car goes down the slope, it is not allowed to step on the accelerator pedal to the end. If the engine still can't increase its speed after stepping on the accelerator pedal for three quarters while the car is driving, shift to a lower gear and then step on the accelerator pedal to accelerate.

Before the car stops or stops, you should release the accelerator pedal first, and never slam on the accelerator.
