No it is not related to the FSS or oil change intervals
These cars use a drive by wire system which means the throttle has no cable and the computer tells the car how to accelerate.
It can be reset by disconnecting the battery which is what they are referring to in the previous posts.


Another way to do a throttle reset is this way:

Keep the key in for this entire process.
1) Turn the key to the on (not start) position,
the position just before the starter turns over.

2) Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.

3) Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back
to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.

4) Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment.

Summary: Key on, pedal down 5 sec, key off, pedal up, wait 2 minutes.

If this doesn't work, disconnect your neg. battery cable for 20 minutes.
This will re-set the parameters in the drive-by-wire

The Throttle is "Drive By Wire" and adapts to your particular driving style.
