This acceleration system, consisting of one or two small levers placed under the steering wheel, can be used in cars with an automatic transmission or automatic clutch by drivers with lack of mobility to the lower limbs.
It transfers the accelerator control from the pedal to the steering wheel, allowing you to accelerate with one or both hands.

 




This product is developped and projected specifically for the car model in that It will be installed.
In this way it fully respects the original car design, keeps the good looking of the passenger compartment and it is very comfortable to be used.

The manettes are placed under the steering wheel. For that reason they doen't interfere with the eventual airbag coming out or with the working of the horn, they allow the steering wheel to keep all its adjustments and they don't obstruct either the view on the dashboard or the driving by people that don't use them.

To accelerate, simply press down one or both levers. 

Another feature of this product is the opportunity to reduce the power of the car engine, without reducing the stroke of the small levers, to make it easier when parking or when you are ‘crawling’ in heavy traffic.

You can do this by pressing a switch on the brake lever handle.  
Thanks to this system, you can drive more safely the new cars that, because of the European regulation regarding pollution, are always more powerful at low rpm.

When the “power saved acceleration mode” is activated, one small led is switched on.

Thank to this system you can choose in any moment, therefore, to drive using the whole original engine power or only a part of it.

This feauture is not available in the mechanical version.

The Manettes are available in the interface, in the "by motor" or in the machanical version.

In the interface version the use of the accelerator pedal can be restored at any moment by pressing a switch placed on the dashboard, in the "by motor" and mechanical ones the original accelerator pedal stays always active.

 


Move of the Manettes with brake lever

In the interface and "by motor" versions the device is provided with a safety system that makes the acceleration return automatically at idle when the brake is applied. This system doesn't work when you are stopped and you want to start the car, maiking it easier for you to start on a hill or on an incline, because it allows you to release the brake gradually when accelerating.

This product is CE marked, and the interface and "by motor" versions have passed the EMC tests.
