ABSTRACT:
According to the motor vehicle braking apparatus of the present invention, the engine throttle valve is closed when the driver treads the accelerator pedal to an extent exceeding a predetermined range, and the brakes are applied when the driver further treads the accelerator pedal to an extent equal to or greater than a predetermined limit. The braking force is adjusted according to the accelerator pedal treading. When the accelerator pedal treading is released to an extent equal to or greater than a predetermined limit, the application of the brakes is released. However, the engine throttle valve still remains closed. The normal function as the accelerator pedal is restored only after the accelerator pedal treading has been released to an extent near the level causing the accelerator pedal to be fully released. According to the apparatus of the present invention, when intended to apply the brakes in case of emergency, the driver is not required to change the pedal to be trodden, from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal. This reduces the distance of vehicle travelling made while such pedal change is carried out. This also prevents an accident due to treading of an improper pedal. Further, there is reduced the likelihood that the driver erroneously applies the brakes, against his own will, in pedal operation.
