ABSTRACT:
An accelerator pedal device includes at least one pedal element that can be moved about the center of rotation of a gas pedal, opposite a base element, and which has at least one retraction element, and at least one damper element to dampen the pedal actuation movement and the pedal retraction movement of the pedal element. A control unit is provided, connected to a sensor element, which controls the motor unit as follows:a) sensing, through the control sensor element, a condition that deviates from the prescribed normal condition;b) switching on the motor unit that generates a motor counterforce that acts upon the pedal element in addition to the damping force of the damper element; andc) switching off the motor unit when the prescribed normal condition is sensed by the control sensor element.
