Pedal cluster
The crash-optimised pedal cluster has a modular
structure and consists of
– clutch pedal,
– brake pedal and
– accelerator pedal.
The clutch pedal and the accelerator pedal have
contact-free position sensors that recognise the
pedal position.
Both pedals are made of plastic.
The brake pedal mounting is made from
aluminium and the brake pedal from steel sheet.
G476 clutch position sender
The clutch position sender is a Hall sender. When
the clutch is operated, it recognises the pedal
position and signals it to the engine control unit
by means of a permanent magnet attached to
the push rod. The engine control unit switches off
the speed control system.
On the diesel engines, the injection amount is
reduced briefly to avoid engine jolts upon gear
changes.
