Driving a hybrid is great for gas mileage and the planet. But saving the planet does not necessarily require a stock sluggish throttle feel. That laggy feedback becomes annoying and even unsafe, especially when you need a quick burst of speed merging onto the highway.
The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is the perfect plug‑and‑play solution to sharpen your hybrid’s pedal feel. It never alters horsepower or torque, but it makes every tap of the accelerator feel more immediate and engaging.
What Makes the Pedal Commander® Stand Out?
Unlike generic modules, the Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is engineered specifically for your vehicle. It boasts precision and ease of use:
-
True plug‑and‑play harness: No cutting or splicing—simply connect Pedal Commander®’s OEM‑style plug to the pedal travel sensor.
-
Four intuitive modes: Eco, City, Sport, and Sport+ each offer eight levels of adjustment so you can fine‑tune throttle sensitivity.
-
Compact, discreet design: The compact control unit sits nicely on your dash, or you can stash it in the footwell area and use it wirelessly through your smartphone.
Sharpening Hybrid Performance
Hybrid drivetrains juggle power between electric motors and gas engines, but their gas pedal works exactly like regular powertrains. They have drive-by-wire, so the instant power delivery of the electric motors does nothing in terms of instant throttle response.
The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller fixes this by remapping your pedal input:
-
Instant launch feel
Sport+ mode tightens throttle mapping so even a light tap feels aggressive—perfect for confident on‑ramp merges. -
Smoother regenerative braking
Eco mode softens the pedal curve to make regen‑braking transitions more seamless, reducing sudden deceleration in stop‑and‑go traffic. -
Tailored city driving
City mode delivers a gentle, predictable response ideal for urban streets, helping you avoid jerky inputs in heavy traffic.
Protect Your Ride with Anti‑Theft Mode
Pedal Commander® is more than a performance accessory. It now offers an Anti‑Theft feature that acts as a seamless kill switch. It disables the gas pedal entirely when activated—no one can drive your vehicle until you turn the mode off. This extra layer of security is managed through the Pedal Commander mobile app:
-
Easy subscription: Try Anti‑Theft free for 14 days; afterwards, choose $0.99/month or $9.99/year.
-
Simple setup: Calibrate in-app with a few taps—just pair your Pedal Commander®, navigate to Anti‑Theft, and follow the on‑screen steps. Don’t press the accelerator during calibration.
Fast, DIY Installation
Installing a Pedal Commander® takes just minutes—no special tools required:
-
Locate the throttle harness right at the gas pedal.
-
Disconnect the factory connector and insert the Pedal Commander® harness.
-
Secure the module.
-
That’s it. Start your engine, select your desired mode, and customize it to find the perfect feel.
The Bottom Line
If you’re a hybrid driver craving a more connected, responsive experience, the Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is one of the best upgrades you can make. It transforms how your car reacts. Plus, with its new Anti‑Theft mode, you get an extra layer of protection for just a few dollars a month. Say goodbye to mushy acceleration and hello to a more engaging and dynamic hybrid drive.
