See

\version "2.18.0"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
}

right = \relative c'' {
  \global
  
  c'1 | c |
  
}

left = \relative c' {
  \global
  
  \set PianoStaff.pedalSustainStyle = #'bracket
  c,4\sustainOn e\sustainOff \sustainOn
  g\sustainOff \sustainOn c\sustainOff |
  \change Staff = "right"
  e\sustainOff \sustainOn g\sustainOff \sustainOn
  c\sustainOff \sustainOn g\sustainOff \sustainOn |
  
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff = "right" \right
    \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context { \Staff
               \remove "Piano_pedal_engraver"
               \remove "Piano_pedal_align_engraver"
             }
    \context { \PianoStaff
               \consists "Piano_pedal_engraver"
               \consists "Piano_pedal_align_engraver"
             }
  }
}

Note that you still get a warning here, but that warning appears
warranted to me given the input.
