Accelerator Pedal Travel

[mradam87]

Put my foot down the other day, and noticed that when the pedal comes to a stop, if I apply a bit more pressure it goes down a bit further.

Almost feels like some sort of switch/button, although nothing happens at all. Thought it might be something to do with cruise control etc?

Anyone know what it's for?

Think its to do with cruise control/speed limiter.it cuts them out if you floor it.

You are right.

doing that in mine it gives it an extra 500rpm and 10bhp :biggrin:

Mine must be faulty then if it cuts out the CC/speed limiter, it doesn't seem to do anything....

does that make it as powerful as our 182 then :-p

sorry couldn't resist.


Its for the speed limiter the car wont accelerate above the speed you have set unless you press the pedal into the "harder" portion of the travel.

Haha thanks, I just tried it on my way home and I think it's because I've never used the speed limiter before that I didn't think it worked, but it did what you said!

[Liambo-201]

Speed limiter? Why would you want to limit your speed Well apart from speed limits :blink:

If this extra travel is for cutting the speed limiter, why does my cup have it?

I definitely have this extra travel but I don't have a speed limiter or cruise control...

(Apologies for the thread resurrection!)

it will be a "standard" part and wont be changed or modified for the cup spec cars thats all :group:

Cool, I suspected that may be the case, thanks for clarifying.
