ABSTRACT:
A brake pedal feel simulator is provided which eliminates the simulation force during emergency, non-assisted and failure conditions. The brake pedal feel simulator generally comprises a spring, a spring seat and a spring stop. The spring is operatively connected to the brake pedal for providing the simulation force, while the spring seat receives an end of the spring. A spring stop is operable between an extended position and a retracted position to prevent and permit rearward axial translation of the spring seat. By permitting rearward axial translation of the spring seat, a simulation force provided by the spring is removed so that there is essentially no resistance to translation of the brake pedal, thereby improving the operator's ability to brake the vehicle.
