operation. The accelerator pedal
has a wide open throttle detent
button which provides the customer with a tactile feedback when they
have reached full accelerator pedal
travel. Depressing the pedal through
the detent button provides driver
feedback of an upcoming vehicle
downshift in normal driving
conditions. The detent feedback
window is reduced while operating
in Performance Algorithm Liftfoot
