Abstract: A pedal unit for a motor vehicle comprises a swinging pedal arm (12), a base element (30) which may swing together with the pedal arm (12) in order to control a device of the motor vehicle, and a lever control member (56) movable with respect to the pedal arm (12), having an appendage (68) adapted to interfere with a counter element of the motor vehicle as a result of an impact. The pedal arm (12) is rotatable about a first pin (24, 27) and has a front opening (20), the base element (30) has a pair of slots (36) for the engagement of the first pin (24, 27) and another pair of slots (38) in which a second pin (64) engages. The first pin (24, 27) and the second pin (64) engages also respective holes (60, 62) of the lever member (56). A rotation of the lever member (56) causes the pins (24, 27, 64) to slide in the respective slots (36, 38) and the base element (30) to move in a position facing the front opening (20), in which the pedal arm (12) may rotate with respect to the base element (30).
