Is the clutch pedal and accelerator pedal plastic?
Most of the car's clutch pedals and accelerator pedals are plasticThe car received positive impact, the steering wheel will become a threat to the safety of a driver component, collapsible steering column is to solve this problem and the design of the collapsible steering column, can effectively reduce the positive impact, the impact force on the steering wheel driver.
Pedal plastic, not our usual sense of plastic, the intensity is still very high.Unless there is a design defect, under normal circumstances, only manpower can not be broken.
The average car is plastic (phenolic), and the modified parts are made of metal.In addition, the high-grade sports sedan, the original pedals also have metal material.
The collapsible brake pedal automatically breaks down when subjected to a strong collision, thereby reducing the impact of the collision on the driver's right leg and reducing the driver's injury in the crash. Therefore, the shrink brake pedal is an effective passive safety configuration.
The brake pedal may also threaten the safety of the driver when a frontal collision occurs. When an accident occurs, the driver usually treads on the brake pedal unconsciously. When the brake pedal is pressed, the right leg is stretched straight, and the impact force of the vehicle during the frontal collision can be acted on by the brake pedal on the right leg of the driver's straight leg, which is extremely easy to cause a serious fracture of the right leg.
