Press the right arrow to move the pedals closer to you or press the left arrow to return the pedals toward the standard positions. Before you begin driving, press the brake pedal to confirm that the pedal is adjusted to the correct position for you. If you cannot reach the brake pedal or are unable to fully press the pedal, readjust the pedal position. Only small adjustments should be made while driving. For information on programming the adjustable pedal positions into memory, see "Memory Feature" in Section 1. This feature will not operate under any of the following conditions: • The transmission is in R (Reverse). • Cruise control is active. ■ ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED) Use this option if you have to park in very cold weather, -18°C (0°F) or colder. You'll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Your vehicle may also have an internal thermostat in the plug end of the cord. This prevents operation of the engine block heater when the temperature is at or above -18°C (0°F). The cord is located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment, near the power steering reservoir. . . . 242
