ABSTRACT:
In an arrangement for operating a control device of a vehicle by way of a pedal, a pedal lever is pivotally supported by a bearing bolt mounted on a vehicle structure and is biased by a return spring toward its idle end position. A friction element is provided so as to cooperate with the pedal lever and a friction surface on a stationary structure, the friction element being coupled to the return spring and being arranged to provide friction forces upon movement of the pedal lever, which are dependent on the pedal position and which are higher when the pedal lever is moved in a direction away from the idle end position than they are when the pedal lever is moved in the opposite direction.
