Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to add the 2020 model year. Please discard PIT5392C.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
Some owners may notice about 3/4 of the way through the accelerator pedal travel there is a
detent/click with a feel of increased resistance.
The accelerator pedal design has changed for vehicles equipped with the 8-speed and 10speed transmissions (RPO's M5U/M5X/MF6/MQB/MQE).
The new accelerator pedal design has a built-in detent position near the last 1/4 of pedal
travel.
The detent provides tactile feedback to the operator to minimize transmission downshifting,
allowing for improved fuel economy, smoother operation, etc.
Pressing up to the detent will allow a more relaxed acceleration rate. When pressing
through the detent, the transmission will downshift aggressively allowing for an increased
acceleration rate.
Recommendations / Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do NOT replace any parts for this condition.
This is a normal operating characteristic of the vehicle and no repair attempts should be
performed.
Customer Information
Please communicate to the customer this condition is a normal operating characteristic of
their vehicle. It will not impact the designed performance or reliability of the vehicle. Please
share this information with the customer, including a copy of this message.
