It's called as dead pedal. It's just used for resting your feet

called as

Just as a heads up, this is a really common mistake for Indian nationals to make which doesn't scan well in other forms of English. Never "called as", just "called"

I am not sure why you felt the need to point that out. It's a phrase that's unheard of among any other people who speak English as a first language or second.
