What is this?

[briwy]

Can someone please tell me what this is and what does it lock.





Round plastic thing on the floor below the accelerator pedal, says Lock on it with a clockwise arrow arrow

[Muzorewa]

Isn't it the electronic kick-down button

[briwy]

Don't think so Muz.

My accelerator pedal doesn't go down far enough to touch it, stops about 6mm short and the plastic button is solid when pushed.

Does it just hold the carpet in place?

Hi briwy,

Its the accelerator pedal stopper.

Cheers.

OK thanks, but why does it say lock on it with an arrow?

OK thanks, but why does it say lock on it with an arrow?

Try unlocking it and see if it comes off

Whatever you do, do not undo it.......................................................................

I think this subject was raised years ago on the forum... The common consensus from memory was the "lock" thing was more an aid when the cap was fitted in the factory on the production line.

When it's locked no one can steal it........... unless they turn it anti-clockcwise

On a technical note, in response to post 2, mine kicks down with a short ( 1 ish cm ) fast prod.
Kind of a twitch really.
If you slowly press accelerator alot further it will also kick down but then you get alot of revs in the lower gear.

I prefer the first method which I didn't know about until I read it somewhere ( not Bongo related but tried anyway ).
