What is the function of the xrv foot pedal?
2 Answers
xrv foot pedal serves as a bumper. The following is a detailed introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of installing foot pedals: 1. Easy to fall off: The foot pedal is mainly fixed with glue, and the quality of products on the market varies. Many inferior foot pedals will fall off after a short period of use, and glue marks will remain after removal. 2. Increased fuel consumption: The foot pedal fixed with glue cannot be retracted, which increases the width of the car. Installing car pedals will increase the weight of the car body, thereby increasing the car's fuel consumption. 3. High practicality: For medium and large SUVs, it is necessary to install pedals. The car body is relatively high off the ground, which makes it easier for the elderly and children in the family to get on and off the car.
I installed side steps on my XR-V for three main reasons: First, with elderly and kids in the family, stepping on these makes getting in/out much easier - especially during rain as the anti-slip steps are safer than stepping on the door frame. Second, since this SUV sits higher than sedans, the steps help my wife avoid dirtying her skirt hem when entering/exiting. Third, weekend off-road trips often involve muddy roads where the side steps block some splashes. But be warned - if you frequently drive narrow roads or use mechanical parking spaces, these might scrape curbs. A neighbor in my compound once bent his step on a parking lock. Always choose OEM-pre-drilled models during installation to avoid frame damage from drilling.
