INTRUSION-MINIMIZING BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION

id041100100600

• During a frontal collision, the backward thrust of the engine and other parts forces brake pedal bracket A rearward and it separates from brake pedal bracket B.

• The rearward movement of the brake pedal arm, connected at the fulcrum of brake pedal bracket A, is prevented due to the stopper on brake pedal bracket B.

• Due to this, the rearward movement of the brake pedal arm is suppressed by the displacement of brake pedal bracket A.
