JF (2016-2020)

TF (2010-2015)

The Kia Optima JF was the last Optima before the vehicle got rebadged. Part of the 4th generation featured many design changes and became more upscale. Like the build quality, the JF’s performance also improved. This Optima generation was also the first to feature a wagon body type.

To improve the Kia Optima JF performance further, the Pedal Commander is the best option. It can reduce the acceleration time of the Optima. A salient feature of this tool is that it doesn’t damage the engine. Other than that, the Pedal Commander can be installed in just 15 minutes.

The Kia Optima TF is arguably the most popular Optima out there. This is a sedan that is excellent to drive and cheap to run. It also has eye-catching looks, and it is filled with a lot of techs. An excellent value for money makes it in demand in the used car market.

That being said, it could use a touch of the almighty Pedal Commander. This device should speed it up. It is the best Kia Optima TF performance booster currently. The device comes with numerous modes that change the intensity of the acceleration and the fuel economy. It is pretty versatile and inexpensive.

WHAT IS THROTTLE LAG?

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 Kia Optima drivers who want power instantly.

HOW DOES PEDAL COMMANDER IMPROVE YOUR CAR?

Modern vehicles have electronic throttle systems. Contrary to the old cable throttles, where the pedal was physically connected to the throttle valve, new drive-by-wire systems are completely controlled by the vehicle’s ECU. On top of that, the throttle valve’s opening speed and how much it opens are regulated by the manufacturer’s settings. All of this process and electronic control causes a delay in the initial throttle response, called throttle lag.

The Pedal Commander throttle response controller modifies the signal from the throttle position sensor. The modified signal transmitted to the ECU makes the throttle valve fully open when you floor the gas pedal, and it also changes the speed the valve operates. This eliminates the unwelcome throttle lag. Pedal Commander also allows you to customize your Optima’s throttle response with its four driving modes with nine increments on each mode.
