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. See

operate.

panel.
Press the button closest to you to move the pedals
closer to you. Press the button farthest from you to move
the pedals away from you.

fuel economy during
engine warm-up.

minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
At temperatures above 32ÉF (0ÉC), use of the coolant
heater is not required.
