A pedal assembly for a motor vehicle includes a bracket with a first groove, a pedal shaft arranged in the first groove and a pedal arm pivotally coupled to the bracket via the pedal; an operating device and at least one locking device. The operating device is arranged for activation or control of a vehicular function and is pivotally coupled to the pedal arm. The locking device is arranged for locking of the pedal shaft in an operating position, and in the event of a collision, it is releasable to allow movement of the pedal shaft from the operating position to a safety position. The bracket has a second groove. A locking pin is arranged in a locking position in the second groove in order to prevent the release of the locking device. An actuator device is arranged to activate the safety arrangement by releasing the locking device from the locking pin in mechanical way by an external force caused by the collision onto the actuator device, thereby allowing the pedal shaft to move from the operating position to the safety position.
