USER INSTRUCTIONS At the Start:

To use the Left Pedal:

Before any selection, the original accelerator pedal on the right is always functional and the left foot accelerator pedal is not.

For safety reasons the left foot accelerator pedal has to be selected by pushing the green button after each engine start.

Start the engine.

The green push button on the dashboard flashes for approximately 10 seconds. During that time push on the green flashing button to select the left accelerator pedal.

The green button stops flashing and remains on to indicate that the left foot accelerator pedal is functional.

The original accelerator pedal on the right is now non functional.

No other selection is possible until the next engine start.

USER INSTRUCTIONS To use the original pedal:

After starting the engine do nothing.

The original accelerator pedal is immediately functional.

The green button flashes for approximately 10 seconds and then turns off indicating that only the original accelerator pedal is functional.

The left one is non functional.

When going to the dealership:

There is nothing in particular that you need to do.

Just turn off the engine so when the technician at the dealership starts the engine again, the original accelerator pedal will be functional. Your car will be just like any other car.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION Technology:

The electronically commutable left foot accelerator pedal is designed for drivers without the use of their right leg.

It can be installed in any car with automatic transmission and with an original electronic accelerator pedal.

A second accelerator pedal identical to the original one is installed on the left of the brake pedal.

A green push button installed on the dashboard enables the selection between both accelerator pedals only shortly after the start of the engine.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION Safety:

In the absence of a selection the original accelerator pedal on the right is always functional. This prevents any confusion when the car is driven by a driver using his right foot.

Both accelerator pedals are never active at the same time.

The electronic circuit has passed successfully all required electromagnetic compatibility tests.
