Hydraulic Brakes

To diagnose hydraulic brake concerns, refer to Brake System - General Information Testing and Inspection.


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 Seating Description and Operation.
