摘要

The accelerator pedal assembly (2) to control the engine of a motor vehicle has base element (4) upon which is installed a relatively movable pedal element (6), and a kick-down-element which can be brought into engagement with the pedal element. The kick-down-element (10) has a spring element constructed in such a way that after reaching an adjustable operating force it reversibly springs back from a first stable position to a second stable position.
