Operating Instructions
The React Throttle Optimizer provides fully customizable control over your vehicle's throttle response. The simple control knob allows you to switch between multiple modes and adjust the intensity of each mode on-the-fly.
Changing Drive Modes
Pressing the control knob will cycle through the available drive modes. The Performance version includes the following modes:
- Track: Designed for maximum throttle response.
- Sport: Enhanced throttle response for spirited driving.
- Street: Balanced throttle response for daily driving.
- Economy: Reduced throttle response for improved fuel efficiency.
- Stock: Returns throttle response to factory settings.
Adjusting Throttle Intensity
Once a drive mode is selected, rotate the control knob to adjust the throttle intensity within that mode:
- Rotating the knob up (clockwise) increases the throttle intensity.
- Rotating the knob down (counter-clockwise) decreases the throttle intensity.
Note: For a new selection to take effect, your accelerator pedal position may need to be below a safe threshold (approximately 25%, though this percentage can vary by application).
