摘要

The accelerator pedal (16) is mounted on a lever (17) and is depressed downward in the usual way to increase the power from the engine. The driver's right foot (24) may rest half on the accelerator pedal and half in a groove (22) formed in a sheet metal sidewall adjacent to the pedal. The sheet metal is deformed to form a pocket (30) with a flat surface (26) acting as a rest for the right side of the driver's shoe. The flat surface is reinforced with a rib (32) on the side remote from the driver's shoe. There is a rounded edge (28) to the flat surface.
