An adjustable foot-lever assembly which has an outer pedal-bearing block held fixed to the vehicle, and an inner pedal-bearing block connected to the outer pedal-bearing block. A pedal is articulated on the inner pedal-bearing block. An articulation point is provided on the inner pedal-bearing block for a transmission element to a device to be actuated by the pedal. The position of the pedal can be set in a simple way to an operating position optimized in ergonomic terms by providing that during adjustment, the pedal executes in relation to the inner pedal-bearing block a movement which is composed of a translational movement and of a rotational movement.
