WHAT IS THROTTLE LAG?
Why is There a Delay on the Accelerator Pedal?
When you first press down on the accelerator, there is a delay before anything actually happens. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) systems cause this as they take the signal from the accelerator pedal when you press it and send it to the vehicle’s ECU. All of this process causes a delay called throttle lag. Besides, manufacturers deliberately leave the delay there because it makes the vehicle suitable for various types of drivers.
Some may need such precautions, but the delay may become frustrating in some scenarios. Pedal Commander is the easiest and most effective solution for those who want power instantly.
HOW DOES PEDAL COMMANDER IMPROVE MY CAR
Remove the Throttle Lag with Pedal Commander

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CAN I USE PEDAL COMMANDER SAFELY ON MY Kia K5 ?
Pedal Commander is a throttle response controller. This means we are not exceeding or overpowering anything on your vehicle. So, it is pretty safe. However, safety depends on the driver. Don’t forget to warn the people in the vehicle about the speed they will encounter!
MY Kia K5 HAS A WARRANTY, DOES PEDAL COMMANDER VOID IT?
Not at all. The reason is, when you go to the service for any repair work on your Kia K5 , they will first scan your Kia K5 via a computer. Pedal Commander does not leave any traces on your vehicle. When you take your vehicle to your manufacturer for any reason or when you want to sell it, you can just disconnect the Pedal Commander, and it will be like it was never there!
WILL I GET MORE HORSEPOWER WITH PEDAL COMMANDER?
Pedal Commander does not increase your Kia K5 's horsepower, but the horsepower is not the important thing here! Even if you have a lot of horsepower, it means nothing if you can't reach it quickly. So, you never feel your Kia K5 's actual horsepower if you don't have Pedal Commander installed. After the Pedal Commander, you will see that the horsepower is not what really matters.
I ALREADY DID SOME CHIP TUNING OR APPLIED TUNERS, IS PEDAL COMMANDER COMPATIBLE WITH THEM?
Of course! Pedal Commander only behaves within the safety parameters of your vehicle engine. It doesn’t matter whether your Kia K5 is stock or already chipped. Pedal Commander is completely compatible with any other aftermarket parts you may already have. And since we don’t use the OBDII port, this means it’s a perfect match to compliment your existing tune or programmer to fully customize your driving experience.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A MECHANIC, CAN I PLUG IT MYSELF?
Absolutely. You don't have to go to any mechanic. This means no one will touch or ruin your Kia K5 . After you get the Pedal Commander, you only need to watch the installation video we put above on this page. As we said before, plugging in the Pedal Commander is as easy as plugging your smartphone into the charger.
WHAT ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY? CAN I SAVE SOME FUEL WITH IT?
Of course. In Pedal Commander’s "ECO" mode, you will reduce your throttle response sensitivity, and you will automatically improve the MPG. It can save up to 20% fuel!
