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.

Intended use
Use the LFG5 universal kit to install the module in automatic vehicles that do
not have a vehicle-specic conversion kit.

Operation
Operation
Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the converted vehicle.
It may be advisable to visit a driver training area to adapt to the unfamiliar
mode of operation.
The driving aid is easy to operate and its electronic control unit complies with
the highest safety standards of the automotive industry.
The electronic switchover to the required pedal can only be performed in the rst
six seconds after switching on the ignition. Pressing the button while driving will
not a󰀨ect the function of the accelerator pedals.
The status LED on the button lights up when the left accelerator pedal is active.
If the status LED is not lit, the original accelerator pedal is active.
The driver can depress whichever pedal is inactive and it will have no function.
NOTE
Operation of the electronic switchover
1. Ignition on
2. Status LED ashes quickly once
(LED indicating that the original
pedal is active is not lit)
(LED indicating that the addi-
tional pedal is active ashes)
3. Press the button within 6 s to
switch the accelerator pedal
(Attention: This can only be done
once, after that the ignition needs
to be switched o󰀨 and switched
on again)
4. If the left-foot accelerator
module is active, the status LED
lights up continuously. Otherwise,
the LED goes out and the standard
accelerator module is active.
5. The most recently active accel-
erator module has been saved and
preselected for the next start.
If you have not activated the required pedal within 6 seconds, you will have to
switch the ignition o again.

Operation
Safety information
Keep the installation and operating instructions together with the vehicle
documents.
Arrange for any irregularities to be examined by a workshop.
ATTENTION!
The driving aid will restrict the space available on the driver’s side to a cer-
tain extent once installed. Installing the driving aid alters vehicle operation.
ATTENTION!
When lending the vehicle to another person or when taking it to the workshop,
please ensure that you make them aware of the driving aid and tell the respective
person how to operate it.
NOTE
Only personnel authorised by us may open the control, otherwise any
warranty claim shall be invalidated.
Should the vehicle enter emergency mode during operation, please notify the
workshop of the pedal system that has been installed and hand over all the doc-
umentation that goes with it. The responsible repair shop should contact the
system manufacturer in case of any doubt.
(For details of the Veigel GmbH + Co. KG hotline, see page 1-3.)
Causes of faults
After switching on the ignition, the
status LED does not ash for 6 s
or the accelerator pedal cannot be
changed.
Check and replace the fuses.
Malfunction Action
Neither of the two accelerator
pedals is accelerating. Accelerator module defective; contact a
specialist workshop.

Assembly
Installing the accelerator module
Create a suitable holder to enable
you to assemble the second accel-
erator pedal module in the vehicle.
Fasten this holder to the available
screw points as a rst preference
or, alternatively, to new drill holes
you have made in the vehicle.
When drilling, pay attention to
any cables or lines that have
been laid.
ATTENTION!
See Fig. 5-3 to 5-5 for examples of
such a holder and how to fasten it.

Make sure that there is a gap of
50 mm between the additional
accelerator module and the
brake pedal to rule out the pos-
sibility of operating errors.
Also make sure that the accel-
erator and brake pedal plate is
not elevated.
