A pedal unit for controlling a vehicle function is disclosed. The pedal unit includes a tread plate that has a support surface configured to receive an actuating force of a driver's foot. The tread plate is connected to a housing cover that is movable via a small stroke along a vertical direction of the pedal unit. The housing cover is connected to a sensor housing in which at least one sensor arrangement is formed. At least one deflection device is included and designed to deflect a small stroke movement of the movable housing cover extending along a vertical direction of the pedal unit caused by the actuating force into a measuring movement extending along a longitudinal direction of the pedal unit. The at least one sensor arrangement is designed to detect the measuring movement based on the small stroke movement in a contactless manner.
