The foot controls are used to control the speed that the car travels and are located on the floor in front of you. From right to left you can think of them as pedals A,B and C:
A - Accelerator
B - Brake
C - Clutch
You may find it uncomfortable when you need to hold
the pedals still if you have your feet like this.
It's better if you can place your feet like 
for maximum comfort. Your right foot will be on the gas or brake pedal most of the time and if your feet are in the "V" position the weight of your right foot and leg will be supported on your heel - you will also find it easier to swivel your foot between the gas and brake pedals from this position.
When your left foot is not operating the clutch it will easily rest below the clutch pedal from here.
The right hand pedal - pedal A is the accelerator which is will always refer to as the gas pedal. It is operated by your right foot and is a very sensitive control which needs to be operated with a light, smooth pressure.
Pressing the pedal allows more fuel to pass to the engine and this enables the car to go faster, easing off the pedal causes the car to slow down
The centre pedal - pedal B is the footbrake (brake) which is also controlled by the right foot. The brake operates on all four wheels to esure that the car will stop efficiently and in a straight line and should be applied
progressively - this means starting with a light pressure on the pedal, and gradually increasing the pressure until the car is slowing as you want it to. Just before the car stops you should try to ease a little pressure off the pedal to avoid a fierce or jerky stop. When you use the footbrake two
red lights show at the rear of the car warning following drivers that you are slowing down.
The left hand pedal - pedal C is the clutch which is operated by the left foot.
This diagram will help to show us how the clutch works.
The clutch is a mechanism consisting of 2 metal plates which is used to connect and disconnect the engine from the drive wheels of the car when the car is in gear.
The clutch enables us to move off and select the correct gear for the driving speed and road conditions without causing damage to the gear mechanism.
We can press the clutch pedal down quickly to disconnect the engine power but when engaging the gear, the pedal must be brought up smoothly to avoid any jerkiness when the plates engage.
When driving along the clutch pedal is in the up position and the plates are held together by a strong spring allowing the engine power to be transmitted to the wheels. As the speed changes we will need to change gear, to do this without causing damage to the gear mechanism we need to disconnect the clutch plates by pressing the clutch pedal to the floor.
Bringing the pedal up again then re-connects the plates allowing the power to drive the wheels.
