Hydraulic Brakes

To diagnose hydraulic brake concerns, refer to Brakes and Traction Control.


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 switch
- By using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) 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 RKE 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.
