PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably prevent indirect damage due to misoperation or general misoperation. SOLUTION: This device is a signal device or (also serving as) a protective device, e.g. a misoperation or (and) damage preventing device. The signal device or (also serving as) the protective device in the action state with a clutch pedal device or to be unified in relation to the action are provided so that a clutch pedal 62 may be operated according to only second type force and stroke characteristic curve remarkably distinguishable from a first type force and stroke characteristic curve in order to inform the second operating state in the reaction state of the signal device or (also serving as) the protective device after the protective device responds to at least the second operating state of an operating device or (and) a friction clutch or (and) a power car.
