Foot Controls Installation for Cars, Vans, Trucks and SUVs
AMS Auto works directly with the top foot control manufacturers in the world to bring you state-of-the-art technology that makes driving safe and simple again.
Foot controls are most often used by drivers with limited mobility or strength in one leg — typically the right leg — while the other leg and both arms remain unaffected.
How Foot Controls Work
If you have reduced mobility in your right leg: A left foot accelerator lets you operate the gas pedal with your left foot instead.
- The mechanical version includes a built-in pedal guard that blocks the factory accelerator from accidental use, mounted on a quick-release base so it can be removed for other drivers.
- The electronic version requires you to press a button before each use to activate the left pedal, which simultaneously disables the right pedal so an untrained driver can’t accidentally use it. It automatically defaults back to the factory right pedal once the ignition is turned off, so there’s nothing to remove between drivers.
If you can’t comfortably reach the pedals: Pedal extensions reduce the distance to the accelerator, brake, or clutch by 2–8 inches, using the same tool-free quick-release design. Heel shelves pair with the extensions to give your feet a place to rest while driving.
If you’re using hand controls: Accelerator and brake guards protect the pedals from being triggered by accident, such as a leg spasm, or a foot resting on or under a pedal, and release in seconds without tools.

Mechanical and Electronic Left Foot Accelerators, Pedal Blocks, Pedal Extensions and Heel Shelves
Left foot accelerators assist users with lost or reduced mobility in their right leg.
Pedal extensions help drivers who are unable to reach and safely operate the vehicle pedals.
- Mechanical and Electronic Left Foot Accelerators -
Both the Mechanical and Electronic Left Foot Accelerator are intended for those who need to operate the gas pedal with their left foot.
The Mechanical Left Foot Accelerator comes with a built-in pedal guard that protects the factory accelerator from accidental use. Its Quick Release base makes it easy to remove for other drivers.
The Electronic Left Foot Accelerator requires the driver to activate the left pedal prior to each use by pushing a button to turn the system on. That action disables the right pedal preventing an accidental use by an untrained driver. The system will always default to the right side gas pedal after turning the ignition off, eliminating the need to remove the device for other drivers
- Accelerator and Brake Guards -
The Guards are intended for use in conjunction with hand controls.
They protect the gas and brake pedals from unintentional use e.g. accidental leg spasms or drivers resting their foot on or under either pedal.
The Guards can be released in seconds without the need for tools thanks to their Quick Release function.
- Pedal Extensions and Heel Shelves -
Pedal Extensions can reduce the distance to the pedal from 2″ – 8″. Utilizing an easy Quick Release system, pedal extensions can be removed in seconds without the use of any tools. Extensions can be used for accelerator, brake or clutch.
The heel shelves are designed to complement the use of the pedal extensions. They come in three different heights, providing drivers a platform for resting their feet while driving with pedal extensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between mechanical and electronic left foot accelerators?
The mechanical version uses a physical pedal guard and a quick-release base you remove for other drivers. The electronic version requires a button press to activate and automatically resets to the factory right pedal when the ignition turns off — no removal needed.
Will foot controls work in my vehicle?
Can other people still drive the vehicle normally?
Do I need both a foot control and a pedal guard?
Not necessarily, it depends on your situation. Pedal guards are typically used alongside hand controls to prevent accidental pedal contact. We’ll go over what combination makes sense for you during your consultation.
How long do pedal extensions last, and can they be adjusted?
