ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL

摘要

An accelerator pedal for a motor vehicle is provided with a damping element having an adjustment unit. A force that counteracts the movement of a pedal arm of the accelerator pedal may be set via the damping element. The adjustment unit is connected to a control unit and adjusts the damping element as a function of signals of the control unit. The force which counteracts the movement of the pedal arm can thus be set as a function of the operating units connected to the control unit or a sensor on the accelerator pedal.
