START for about three seconds. When the engine
starts, let go of the key and accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briey but then stops again, do the

engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment,
check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine
might not perform properly.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

mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, push
