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.
■ ACTIVE FUEL
MANAGEMENT ™
Your engine is equipped with
Active Fuel Management™. This
system allows the engine to
operate on either four, six or eight
cylinders, depending on driving
demands.
The system will maintain
eight-cylinder operation when
greater power demands are
required, such as accelerating
from a stop, passing, or merging
onto a freeway.
The system will automatically
enable six- or four-cylinder mode
when less power is required, such
as when cruising at a constant
speed. This allows the vehicle to
achieve better fuel economy.
