Default 4th pedal

Hi !

I have a question about this pedal, when you count from right to left, there sometimes ( or is it always ? ) a fourth pedal, next to the gas, brake and clutch. What is it for ?

Thanks

Elias

Emergency brake. (also note the "brake release" handle above it)
But I suppose if you wanted, I'm sure you could rest your foot on it (the pedal, not the handle).

not when ur linkage is messed up and you're lazy, with the brake all the way down u can still push the car, it is a little harder, but it can be done, keeping it in gear is the only way lol thank god for nutral safety switches!
