General information
Observe the following in particular during assembly:
• Installation and maintenance work may only be performed by specialist sta󰀨
using suitable tools.
• Please read these installation and operating instructions carefully before in-
stalling the driving aid.
• Pass the installation and operating instructions for the driving aid on to the
customer, together with any parts certicate, when you hand over the vehicle.
• Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when in-
stalling and maintaining the driving aid!
• Only accessories obtained from the manufacturer may be used with the
driving aid.
• Structural modications to the driving aid may only be performed following
consultation with the manufacturer.
• If the driving aid is installed in an authorised workshop, the installation re-
cord must be lled in (see appendix). If it is installed at the factory, a sep-
arate installation record will be prepared and archived at the Veigel factory.
General information
General safety information
The driving aid is a universal installation kit, which must be adapted to the
specic vehicle in which it is being tted.
It was designed and built in line with the harmonised standards that must
be observed as well as further technical specications. Consequently, it
is a state-of-the-art product and provides the best possible level of safety
while in operation. The driving aid left the factory in a awless condition in
terms of technical safety.
However, safety can only be achieved in practice if all the required actions
have been taken. The person responsible for operation has a duty to plan
these actions and monitor their implementation.
ATTENTION!

General information
Observe the following in particular as a user:
• Comply with generally accepted codes of practice when using and oper-
ating the driving aid!
• Observe the applicable accident prevention and safety provisions when op-
erating the driving aid!
• The driving aid may only be operated if it is in a awless, functional condi-
tion. Arrange for functional faults to be remedied immediately.
• Only use the driving aid with the type(s) of vehicle for which it is intended
(see INTENDED USE).
• Always keep the complete installation and operating instructions inside the
vehicle.
• If the vehicle is not driven by a disabled person, then the driving aid must be
removed or taken out of operation. You will nd details on this in the further
applicable documentation.
If this information is not observed, this will void the warranty, the manu-
facturer’s liability and, in certain situations, the type approval. As a con-
sequence, no claims can then be made against us.
NOTE
ATTENTION!
ATTENTION!
The driving aid features built-on parts and levers that will restrict the space
available on the driver’s side to a certain extent once installed.

Product description
Product description
Function
The electronic left-foot accelerator (type LFG5) consists of a second acceler-
ator pedal module, which is connected to the original accelerator pedal module
via safety electronics.
Before setting o󰀨, the driver must decide which pedal they will use. The elec-
tronics make it impossible to switch between the pedals while driving.
In many modern vehicles there is not enough space available to t a conven-
tional solution that ips up and down mechanically, but an organ-style pedal
with a guard over the original accelerator is often not what the customer wants
either. The electronic left-foot accelerator is a convenient, innovative and safe
solution that is easy to assemble and creates space for the right leg. The driver
can depress the inactive pedal fully and it will have no function.
The electronic left-foot accelerator meets the stringent provisions laid down by
the automotive industry.
