Body control with torque demand
What it is?
This function uses wheel speed sensor information to establish when the nose of the vehicle is either lifted or lowered by road surface undulations. When the nose is lifted, this causes the heads of vehicle occupants to tilt backwards. The system momentarily reduces engine torque to compensate, reducing occupant head movement. When the vehicle nose dips, occupants’ heads are tilted forwards, and the system adds torque to compensate in a similar manner.
If you want more punch during take off, less lag (i4 and V6) then disable this function.
It can be disabled via Techstream or Carista.

Fascinating find! Would explain why some testers who drive the car hard say the car sometimes seems “confused” when the gas pedal is floored.
I wonder if Sport mode reduces or removes this effect. Either way it’s a soft suspension and definitely bounds up and down fore and aft in even remotely spirited driving. Perhaps it’s worse withoit the feature.
However the above doesn’t seem to imply this is during takeoff, but rather it’s applied once underway. It’s not super clear.

That I don't know but I would say yes, at least a little.
Everytime.

I saw people talking about that on the 18+ Camry Hybrid forums four years ago so maybe something changed since. They said it was only for hybrids since the electric motor is present and that's how they get the response that will make the feature work. you sure you can do it on the v6?
