Abstract

An accelerator module actuated by the driver's foot for controlling the output of a driving engine or motor of a motor vehicle employs a friction element for generating a friction hysteresis for the purpose of achieving a comfortable driving feel. Support of the pedal lever is completely independent of the generation of the friction hysteresis, resulting in a particularly favorable, especially stable, and play-free support of the pedal lever, and the brake insert for generating the friction hysteresis is particularly easy to manufacture.
