Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting driver demand wheel torque of a vehicle. The driver demand wheel torque may be adjusted as a function of accelerator pedal position. In particular, at low accelerator pedal positions, a lead-in region of an accelerator pedal position to driver demand wheel torque relationship is adjustable responsive to vehicle operation conditions so that 'dead pedal' feel may be avoided.
