<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> |
