ABSTRACT:
A structure for controlling the displacement of a pedal for a vehicle includes: a pedal bracket whose front end side is coupled to a first vehicle body-side component member, and whose rear end side is coupled to a second vehicle body-side component member; a suspended-type pedal for a vehicle whose rotating shaft portion serving as a center of swinging motion is supported by the pedal bracket; and a sliding and guiding surface for causing the pedal bracket to be rotatively displaced substantially toward a front side of the vehicle in a side view by causing the rear end side of the pedal bracket to be displaced substantially toward a lower side of the vehicle when the external force is applied, wherein the pedal bracket is coupled to the first vehicle body-side component member in such a manner as to be rotatable about the front end side thereof substantially in a vertical direction of the vehicle. Accordingly, when an external force of a predetermined value or greater is applied to the front of the vehicle, rotative displacement acting substantially toward the front side of the vehicle occurs in the pedal bracket, thereby making it possible to provide control such that the stepping surface of the pedal for a vehicle is displaced substantially toward the front side of the vehicle.
