Which pedal is found to the left of the accelerator and is used to engage the brakes?

Pressing the brake pedal slows or stops the vehicle by activating the braking system. It’s located to the left of the accelerator in most cars, which matches the description in the question. The leftmost pedal in manual cars is the clutch, used for changing gears, while the gas pedal on the right increases engine speed to move the vehicle. Since the described pedal is used to engage braking and sits to the left of the accelerator, the brake pedal is the correct choice.
