Below is the extract from my book.

> 
> There is a car with four wheel drive system and during acceleration, the engine causes the tires to push backward on the road surface. This push produces frictional forces $\vec{f}$ that act on each tire in the forward direction. The net external force $\vec{F}$ from the road, which is the sum of these frictional forces accelerates the car, increasing its kinetic energy.

Here the author says frictional force produce acceleration. How can a frictional force produce acceleration in the car?

The only possible explanation I can think that cause the car to moves forward in this case is when the tire pushes the road in backward direction and the friction force is the reaction force acting as mentioned in Newton's Third law.
