2004 CHEVROLET KODIAK height adjustment

Split Bench Seat
If your vehicle has a split bench seat, your seat is not
adjustable.
Air Suspension Seats
Your vehicle may have a low-back or high-back air
suspension seat. There are two ways you can adjust
the seat.
Height Adjustment
The suspension seat
height adjustment lever is
located on the front
inboard side of the seat.
To adjust the height of the air suspension seat, pull the
lever up to inflate. Push the lever down to deflate.The seat cushion can also be raised or lowered.
The seat cushion height
adjustment handle is
located underneath the
front of the seat.
To adjust the height of the cushion, lift the handle up
and pull it forward. You can choose between two
settings.

Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
(Hydraulic Only)
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Four-Wheel and Six-Wheel Drum
Brakes (Air Only)
The brake drums should be removed and inspected
each time the tires are removed for rotation or changing.
When you have the front brakes replaced, have the
rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, your brakes adjust
for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your
vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality GM
brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system — for example, when your brake linings
wear down and you need new ones put in — be sure
you get new approved GM replacement parts. If you do
not, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change — for the worse. The braking
performance you have come to expect can change
in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
