Due to packaging constraints, the De-latching system has been developed for a "B" class platform launched in the first quarter of 2002.

During crash, the pedal box is displaced linearly under the cross car beam.  This action de-latches the pedal and allows it to swing to its required "safe" position.

• This method can easily be adapted for inclusion onto the clutch pedal.

• Should it be required, a stop can be added to the brake pedal to allow 0.6g deceleration with the pedal de-latched.

• Should it be required, KSR can offer a patented throttle pedal de-latching system.
