CUSTOMER TIP: ACCELERATOR PEDAL
FUNCTION/DESCRIPTION
On all K900 (KH), Cadenza (VG, YG), and Optima (JF, JFa, JF-HEV, JF-PHEV) vehicles, the
accelerator pedal features a small detent with a spring to provide increased resistance to help
avoid unnecessary fuel consumption when applying full throttle. When the driver depresses the
pedal beyond the resistance where the detent is felt (above 85% WOT), the pedal will easily
reach WOT and kickdown shift will occur accordingly. For additional information, refer to the
individual vehicle’s Owner’s Manual under section “Driving Your Vehicle” – Automatic
Transmission (Drive).
