resistance to prevent you from applying excessive throttle to the accelerator.
Usually, the feedback is unnoticeable while driving.
• As a result, this can yield better fuel efficiency and provide traction control
while driving on slippery roads.
• The system also can provide slight resistance through the accelerator during
operation of Forward Collision Warning (see page 24) or the Collision
Mitigation Braking System (see page 25) .
• Reactive force pedal is off in Sport mode.
