DEVICE FOR IMMOBILISING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND CORRESPONDING METHOD FOR DRIVING ASSISTANCE

摘要

The invention concerns a device for immobilising the accelerator pedal (1) in an inoperative position where the control member for the intake of gas (2) is placed directly under the control of a computer (3) of a driving assistance system on board a vehicle, characterised in that it comprises a mobile element (4) connected to the pedal (1), which is displaced by the latter between a first position immobilising the pedal in its inoperative position which is maintained as long as the thrust of the driver on the pedal remains less than a predetermined threshold pressure, and a second position for cutting out the driving assistance system where the pedal does not offer any particular resistance, which is reached when said pressure threshold is exceeded, and maintained as long as the driving assistance system remains cut out.
