TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

The acceleration controls consist of the accelerator pedal and sensor assembly.

The engine management system electronically operates the throttle of the engine in response to throttle pedal movements initiated by the driver. In the event of a system failure, the engine management system provides a "limp home" mode which allows the car to be driven with limited performance.

Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
