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 toward the driver
for better pedal reach.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals
is located on the
instrument panel
below the climate
control system.
Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch
to move the pedals closer to your body.
Press the arrow at the top of the switch to
move the pedals away from your body.No adjustment to the pedals can be made when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) or while using
the cruise control.
Your vehicle has a memory function which allows
pedal settings to be saved and recalled. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 13for
more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of lubricant to use. SeeRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 574.
Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming
system. The aim of the headlamps have been
preset at the factory and should need no further
adjustment.
However, if the vehicle is damaged in an accident,
the aim of the headlamps may be affected and
adjustment may be necessary.
If oncoming vehicles ash their high beams at
you, this may mean the vertical aim of your
headlamps needs to be adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to
your dealer/retailer/retailer for service if the
headlamps need to be adjusted. It is possible
however, to re-aim the headlamps as described
in the following procedure.The vehicle should be properly prepared as
follows:
The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps
are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall.
The vehicle must have all four tires on a level
surface which is level all the way to the wall.
The vehicle should be placed so it is
perpendicular to the wall.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice,
or mud on it.
The vehicle should be fully assembled and all
other work stopped while headlamp aiming is
being performed.
The vehicle should be normally loaded
with a full tank of fuel and one person or
160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the driver’s seat.
Tires should be properly in ated.
The spare tire is in its proper location in the
vehicle.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle’s
low-beam headlamps. The high-beam headlamps
will be correctly aimed if the low-beam headlamps
are aimed properly.
