the pedals forward (toward the front
of the vehicle).
Lift the switch upward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
WARNING!
Do not adjust the pedals position while the vehicle is moving. You could
lose control and have an accident.
Always adjust the pedals position
while the vehicle is parked.
The following messages will be
displayed if the
driver is attempting to
adjust the pedals when the system is
locked out:

The external rear-view electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
internal rear-view electrochromic
mirror.
