accelerator ensure that the engine's capabilities are instantly translated into action.
The lack
of response to the
accelerator pedal has quite a few potential causes that would have to be sorted out in a diagnostic including, just as a few examples, plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and / or filter, vacuum leaks including that caused by a faulty EGR system, ignition system malfunctions, bad valve timing if the timing belt or chain is worn or skipped, blocked exhaust (e.g., catalytic converter fails or becomes clogged), a faulty airflow sensor or throttle position sensor, and so forth.

These different modes allow the driver to alter the
accelerator response characteristics, engine
response, power steering characteristics, DSC settings, shift characteristics
of the automatic transmission and, if the vehicle is equipped with Adaptive M Suspension, the damping characteristics as well.
The driver can use the «S / C / M» mode button in the centre console to select from the «Sport», «Comfort» and «Manual» shift programmes that not only change the transmission characteristics but also the
accelerator response and the spring / damper settings
of the AMG sports suspension based on Active Body Control.
The «Master» mode stored in the drive program «RACE» ensures optimum agility and brings out the high driving dynamics potential
of the AMG GT 4 - Door Coupe to optimum effect - for example through higher yaw rates and a faster
response from the
accelerator pedal, gearshift system, rear axle steering, electronically controlled rear axle locking differential or brake force distribution on the all - wheel drive system.

About the engine, some people criticize his low
response (full economy is very good), but for me I think this model isn't a sports car (and this engine is enough for the 80 %

And then, just as suddenly, everything settles back down into a docile «E» mode, where a prod
of the
accelerator doesn't provoke the same
response and the tendency is to take it easy in the slower lane.
In typical electric motor fashion, it generates its maximum torque
of 184 lb - ft from standstill, which means it is ideally equipped to deliver razor - sharp

accelerator.
When the car is cornering, the HY - KERS keeps the V12's revs up to ensure quicker
response times to the
accelerator pedal and, when accelerating out
