Throttle on a 182 - why is there a "step" near the botom?

[buzzer1955]

When I drive my 182, I notice there is a bit of a step in the pedal when I push it right to the floor, its a kind of resistance right at the bottom of the travel. Whats this for and what does it do?

If you have the speed limiter on, and need to go faster, i.e over taking something. Go past the 'step' and it overrides the speed limiter.

VTEC button yo

(No idea)

This. I've only used it once though, stank the car out with clutch smell!

Ummmmm why?

 

[Dodson]

But my 172 has it too?

Yeah it's for the turbo as said. Clicking it makes it overboost to 25 bar.

Check your indicator fluid mate

 

[Munson]

It is indeed the override switch for the speed limiter.

 

[Matt W]

What's the speed limiter?

/noob.

 

[Munson]

It's a feature which limits the speed.

 

[Kneel]

Its on my very very early 172 aswell, long before the days of cruise and speed limiter. I just thought it was Renault quality engineering tbh

 

[Matt W]

I don't think I have a speed limiter on my cup. Overtook a veyron on the twisties yesterday.

 

[Tunst]

I thought it was the override for the cruise control/speed limiter

 

[brisa4984]

button to open the boot.

 

[RTSportdTi]

bonnet release switch.. stupid MK2s

 

[mr.valver]

I heard it opens the door to the bat cave? Guess that's not a FACT??

Initiates WOT

 

[Skeeter]

My 172 has a what now?

Seriously, I just though the plastic round thing on the floor under the pedal was broke and was giving way to leave the slight step thing at the bottom of the pedal travel?

It activates the flux capacitor but you must be going exactly 88mph Marty :race:

I thought it was the cruise control over ride switch. But if they came in later 172s and 182s why do the early 172s have them?

How the hell did it stink the car out? All it does is override the speed limiter?

 

[Cooksport]

Vtec TVIS VVTI all in one switch, and caused such an increase in power the clutch started slipping

FLOL at these replys

Pretty sure it's a hands free way of switching to Radio 1. I'm not 100% sure though pal...

I think all clio sports used the same/similar loom etc to keep costs down.

Like if your clio didnt have ESP, i still had the wires behind the panel, just no where to put them.

If im wrong i have no idea tbh

 

[brett54]

it opperates the passenger ejector seat for when the misses is whinning too much :rasp:

Spot on. All the connections are there, regardless of specified equipment, bar Nav.

If you push the throttle hard enough to use that extra 10mm of travel, it stops this thread topic being posted again.
