Car controls are the components in automobiles and other powered road vehicles, such as trucks and buses, used for driving and parking. While controls like steering wheels and pedals have existed since the invention of cars, other controls have developed and adapted to the demands of drivers.
A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).

An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

Secures foot to pedal for increased control and more effective transfer of power from foot to drive chain; Top tube: frame member leading from head tube to seat tube; Valve stem or simply valve: port for adding or releasing air from the inner tube.
Example mechanical drawing. Here is an example of an engineering drawing (an isometric view of the same object is shown above). The different line types are colored for clarity. Black = object line and hatching; Red = hidden line; Blue = center line of piece or opening; Magenta = phantom line or cutting plane line
An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.
Although the dead pedal serves no mechanical function in the car, many car manufacturers opt to implement it because it provides a number of ergonomic benefits to the driver. In manual transmission cars, the dead pedal is designed to promote a smoother actuation of the clutch by keeping the driver's foot in the same plane as the pedal. [1]

Also known as a crook lock, [3] or club lock, [4] the first generation of steering-wheel locks, known as canes, [5] consisted of a lockable bar that connected the steering wheel to the brake pedal or clutch pedal.
