<p>The disclosure relates to a pedal support for a vehicle, comprising a bracket ( 9 ) which is secured in a bulkhead disposed in the vehicle between the passenger compartment of the vehicle and the engine room; a first shaft ( 3 ) secured in the bracket and horizontal and transversely directed in relation to the direction of travel of the vehicle; a pedal arm ( 2 ) provided with a footplate ( 23 ) and pivotal about the first shaft; an operating device ( 22 ) which is secured in the arm ( 2 ) a distance from the first shaft and which is disposed for manoeuvring or controlling a vehicle function, for example a braking function. According to the invention, the first shaft ( 3 ) is movably disposed in the bracket ( 9 ) in the direction of travel of the vehicle, the first shaft having a normal position locked by means of a locking device ( 13 ), and the locking device being, in the event of a collision, openable for permitting displacement of the first shaft ( 3 ) to a safety position where the footplate ( 23 ) is displaced away from the legs/feet of the vehicle driver but where the function of the operating device ( 22 ) is at least partly retained.</p> |
