might not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change the
position of the throttle and brake pedals. This feature is
designed for shorter drivers, since the pedals cannot
move farther away from the standard position, but can
move closer to you for better pedal reach. This
feature can be programmed to work with the memory
function (if equipped) on your vehicle. SeeMemory Seat
on page 2-90.
The vehicle must be in PARK (P) for this feature to
operate.
The buttons used to adjust
the pedals are located on
