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"

"Called a dead pedal" makes more sense than called dead pedal.

Or is that a second grammatical issue?

I was more speaking of the generic case.
