Abstract
A manual control arrangement for an adjustable control pedal system for a motor vehicle provides for pivotal adjustment of the control pedals relative to the vehicle driver. The manual control arrangement allows optimal adjustment of each of the control pedals of the motor vehicle (e.g. the brake and accelerator pedals for motor vehicles with automatic transmissions, or the brake, accelerator and clutch pedals for motor vehicle with manual transmissions) relative to driver so as to suit the needs of a particular driver for maximum comfort and operability. The manual control arrangement is preferably operatively arranged with each of the control pedals for simultaneous and uniform adjustment and is preferably interconnected with a plurality of camming devices corresponding in number to the number of control pedals. The camming devices slidably abut the pedal arm of the respective control pedal such that rotation of the camming device causes pivotable movement of the pedal arm relative to the motor vehicle driver.
