Italian term
pedale con tiro
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Automotive
Pedale elettronico/meccanico con tiro per automotive
My try: Electronic/mechanical pedal with [pull cable/tension?] for motor vehicles
See image of pedal at following link:
http://www.keytranslations.co.uk/images/Pedale_con_tiro.jpg
(pls ignore yellow highlighting)
Unfortunately I have no other context or information, in the source text there is no other reference to 'tiro', nor any information about how the pedal works.
All I have is a diagram (see link above), which is inconclusive.
I've also searched on the relevant company website for further info about the product but to no avail.
Possible meanings of tiro in this context: pull, pull cable, tension, tension spring, tensioner....I'm just guessing really :-(
Any input you can give would be much appreciated!

pedal with linkage
Your diagram illustrates a pedal which can be used in mechanical (the operation of the mechanical linkage is illustrated, it could push a rod or pull a cable or rod) or in electronic mode (the pinouts for the socket are shown at the bottom). Mechanical automotive pedal assemblies are made up of the pedal itself and the attached linkage – see site below.

Comment: "Thanks both for your help, I'll go with Jim's answer, even though there might be another solution out there somewhere. I don't think that 'tiro' refers to 'torque' as I'm almost certain this is an accelerator pedal."

torque pedal
just an idea really...but I do quite a lot of automotive translation and tiro is often translated with torque...more context would be really helpful.
However, see if this is of any relevance:
