brake pedals

Car deceleration inputs

Brake pedals is the plural of brake pedal—the foot-operated lever in a vehicle that activates the braking system.

Most cars have one brake pedal; vehicles with manual transmission have three pedals (clutch, brake, accelerator).

Both brake pedals need to be checked during inspection.

The plural appears in discussions of multiple vehicles or mechanical comparisons.
