Pedal unit

Description 3330B

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. This solution makes it possible to fit an oversized 9' 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 versions with a robotised gearbox and automatic transmission, the pedal unit does not include a clutch release pedal because the function is performed automatically.

The accelerator control is mechanical on 1.1 8v and 1.2 8v manual gearbox without ESP, but 'drive by wire' type on 1.3 jtd versions and all specifications with robotised gearbox and ESP.
