4. Setup & Installation

The OceanicEcho Left Foot Accelerator Pedal offers two primary installation methods: portable (tool-free) and permanent (drilling required). Always ensure the vehicle is an automatic transmission model.

4.1. Portable Installation (Temporary Use)

This method is ideal for temporary use and requires no drilling.

1. Place the product directly onto the plush floor mats in the vehicle's footwell.
2. The anti-slip rubber strips on the bottom of the base plate are designed to create strong grip with the plush surface to prevent sliding.
3. Adjust the pedal positions and angles as described in Section 4.3.
4. Regularly check the product's position during use, as it may shift despite being slip-resistant.

4.2. Permanent Mounting (Recommended for Long-Term Use)

This method provides an absolutely secure connection and requires drilling.

1. Determine the optimal installation location for the base plate, ensuring it meets the minimum 11-inch clearance requirement.
2. Mark the drilling points on the vehicle floor through the pre-drilled holes in the base plate.
3. Drill holes according to the markings.
4. Secure the product directly to the vehicle floor using the included screws and tighten them securely.
5. Once installed, removal is difficult and will leave installation holes.

4.3. Pedal Attachment & Initial Adjustment

This section details the attachment of the pedal extenders to your vehicle's existing pedals.

1. Accelerator Pedal Attachment: Mount the back bracket of the accelerator extender over the back of your vehicle's existing gas pedal. Tighten the nuts securely using the provided tools.
2. Brake Pedal Attachment: Align the brake pedal extender so it is flush with the existing brake pedal. Mount the back bracket over the existing brake pedal and tighten the nuts securely.
3. Initial Adjustment: Ensure the left foot accelerator pedal is positioned on the same plane or slightly lower than your brake pedal. Adjust the distance so it is not too close or too far from the brake pedal.

5. Operating the Device

Once installed and adjusted, the left foot accelerator pedal allows for intuitive control.

• To accelerate, press down on the left foot pedal.
• To brake, use your left foot on the standard brake pedal.
• Ensure that the left foot accelerator pedal does not interfere with the brake pedal during operation.
