The Clutch

The clutch pedal manages the connection between your engine and wheels. 

 

When turned on, the engine is continually running.  Sometimes we don't want the engine to turn the wheels.  Pressing the clutch down removes the connection, allowing your engine to turn, without turning your wheels.

The Brake

Pressing the brake pedal slows or stops the wheels. 

Car Rims

The Accelerator

The accelerator pedal increases the speed that the engine is rotating.
