Abstract

An arrangement of foot operated elements for a motor vehicle includes a first element with a power booster for operating a brake and a second element with a second power booster for operating a clutch of the motor vehicle. The second power booster for actuating the clutch release is arranged adjacent the power booster for actuating the brake device. The power booster for the clutch has a linear guide which guides the second element, which is an actuating push rod by which the second power booster for the clutch can be operated directly. The second power booster for the clutch further has a servo device which further reduces the actuating forces and/or the operating paths for actuating the clutch.
