Abstract: A pedal apparatus for a vehicle. The pedal apparatus includes a support defining an axis. The pedal apparatus further includes a brake pedal assembly movable about the axis between a first position and a second position. The brake pedal assembly includes a latch movable between unlocked and locked positions. The pedal apparatus includes an accelerator pedal assembly movable about the axis between initial and displaced positions. The pedal apparatus includes an intermediate device disposed about the axis and having a plurality of first and second teeth. The latch is engageable with the first teeth when in the locked position. The braking apparatus further includes a retainer disposed about the axis. The retainer has a hub mounted to the support and at least one actuating device selectively engaging at least one of the second teeth of the intermediate device to couple the intermediate device to the retainer and the support.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assembling a pedal assembly for a motor vehicle, the method including:—pivotally mounting a pedal lever (10) by inserting a cylindrical end portion (12) thereof through an opening in a first housing part (1) to be at least partially received in a complementary shaped first cylindrical bearing space portion (7) provided in the first housing part.
