Safety Pedals

Safety pedals are designed to minimise the risk of injury to the driver in a head-on accident. The programmed crumple zones ensures that the brake and clutch pedal do not penetrate further into the driver's footwell during an accident. In the event of a frontal crash, the pedals are moved out of the way or disengaged by means of a lever mechanism.
