If you think about the loadings that a brake lever must be able to support, you can easily understand why we have chosen to build this device in metal.
But, at the same time, it must be good-looking and never create danger to the driver.
The solution to realise both our goals is this brake lever, fitted on the right side of the steering wheel, working by a vertical press.
|
In this way: :
1) All the transmission levers are placed inside the dashboard and not under the steering wheel, allowing easy access into and out of the car. Moreover, In the event of a collision, the brake lever will not go into the driver; it will rotate on its axis and bend up out of the way.
|
|
2) The braking is very soft (thanks to favourable lever arms all the strength used by the hand is transmitted and multiplied to the pedal). For that reason, to brake, is enough very little strength.
Moreover, the brake stroke is small and the driver does not need to take the hand completely off the steering wheel in order to use the brake lever. The hand movement is very quick and natural
|
3) You always choose when you want to brake: the braking movement is always voluntary, and its intensity is proportional to the strength that that you apply on the lever.
For example, it will never happen that you will brake unintentionally because of the forward movemnt of your body during the slowing down of the car.
