ABSTRACT:
An improved pedal arrangement is provided in a foot space of a motor vehicle. Under a load applied during a frontal impact, it is known to uncouple a brake pedal from a brake operating unit when the brake pedal is fixedly disposed in the interior of a vehicle body. At least one pedal in the improved pedal arrangement has a lever extension which projects beyond a swivelling shaft. A dimensionally stable transmitting rod, which is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, is linked to the lever extension in a force-transmitting manner. The transmitting rod is operatively connected by various elements with a vehicle operating unit.
