Removal

CAUTION: When servicing the accelerator pedal, do not damage or kink the core wire inside the cable sheathing.

NOTE:
- The brake, clutch and accelerator pedals used in this vehicle are adjustable. All three pedals can be adjusted back and forth to accommodate for the differences in drivers leg lengths, when the drivers seat is adjusted to its correct driving position. All three pedals of the adjustable pedal system are synchronized to adjust at the same amount using a common actuator mounted below the steering column.
- The components of the adjustable pedal system are not replaceable, if any pedal or component of the adjustable pedal system requires service the entire pedal system must be replaced. This requires that the entire pedal system (all three pedals) be removed from the vehicle when the replacement of any one pedal is required.
- The only replaceable components of the adjustable pedal system are the pedal pads, linkage retaining clips and the stop lamp switch.
- The adjustable pedal system must not be disassembled. If disassembled the pedals will no longer be correctly synchronized, which will require the replacement of the entire adjustable pedal system.
