Non-Memory Adjustable Pedals

The brake and accelerator pedals can be adjusted for a more comfortable driving position. The adjustable pedals feature is operational with the ignition switch in the RUN, ACC or OFF position. The pedals are controlled directly by the adjustable pedal switch and motor. The adjustable pedal motor is attached to the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is connected to the motor via a cable and both move together as an assembly. The pedals are adjusted by pressing the adjustable pedal switch in either the forward or rearward position. Pressing the switch powers the adjustable pedal motor which then causes the pedals to move either toward the driver or away from the driver.


Memory Adjustable Pedals

The brake and accelerator pedals can be adjusted closer to or further away from the driver to achieve a more comfortable driving position.

The adjustable pedals can be adjusted in 1 of 3 ways:

- By pressing the adjustable pedal switch.
- By pressing a memory position 1 or memory position 2 switch.
- By using the remote transmitter.

The adjustable pedals can be adjusted using the adjustable pedal switch at any time. The memory position 1 switch, memory position 2 switch or the remote transmitter can only be used to recall a memory position when the transmission selector lever is in the PARK position. The adjustable pedals are controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). The DSM receives input from 1 of the 3 sources and then powers the adjustable pedal motor in the desired direction. The DSM will also control the driver seat position and the side-view mirror positions.

For information on the DSM and Memory Position Programming, refer to Seats.
