Abstract
A gas pedal for a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission has a kick-down stop having a movable or elastic supporting part (5) which is fastened on or in a pedal arm (2) when the pedal arm (2) has been pressed down virtually to the full extent, the supporting part (5) strikes against a stop (9). A particularly high resistance force counters any further pressing-down movement of the pedal arm (2) by displacement counter to spring force or elastic deformation of the supporting part (5).
