Abstract
A gas pedal for a motor vehicle has a pedal arm which is mounted pivotably in a holding part and has a restoring device, which slides along the rear side of the pedal arm, and a damping element for damping the movement of the pedal arm. A setpoint generator generates, from the relative movement of the pedal arm with respect to the restoring device, electric signals which can be varied as a function of position.
