Pedal unit – construction features

• 1 Pedal unit for versions without Selespeed 1.6 T. SPARK
• 2 Pedal unit for versions with Selespeed 2.0 T. SPARK Selespeed

All cars are fitted with a pedal unit separate from the power unit. This consists of a mount with clutch and accelerator pedals in plastic and the brake pedal in steel as usual. This solution makes it possible to fit an oversized 10' brake servo and

achieve a significant weight reduction.

The unit's pedal/brake ratio ensures reduced pedal travel and allows brake servo size to be exploited to the full. Braking is also smoother and more gradual.

Pedal arrangement has been optimised to make the pedals more user-friendly by considering ideal ankle angle and pedal spacing parameters. On the 2.0 Selespeed version, the pedal unit does not include a clutch release pedal because this function is

taken over by the hydraulic control unit governed by the Selespeed ECU [ 2127A ( Characteristic of working principle 2127A Hydraulic transmission external

linkage)]

The accelerator pedal is fitted with two built-in potentiometers (a main one and a safety back-up). These send pedal movements to the control unit, which opens the throttle by the required amount [ 1056"

( Characteristic of working principle 1056 Fuel injection system)].
