Cadillac 2006 Escalade EXT Automobile User Manual


 
Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change the
position of the throttle and brake pedals. This feature is
designed for shorter drivers, since the pedals cannot
move farther away from the standard position, but can
move closer to you for better pedal reach. This feature
can be programmed to work with the memory function
(if equipped) on your vehicle. See Memory Seat on
page 2-74.
The vehicle must be in PARK (P) for this feature to
operate.
The buttons used to
adjust the pedals are
located on the driver’s
side door panel.
Press the button closest to you to move the pedals
closer to you. Press the button farthest from you to move
the pedals away from you.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant
heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (18°C) or colder, the engine
coolant heater can help. You will get easier starting
and better fuel economy during engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant
heater is not required. Your vehicle may also have
an internal thermostat in the plug end of the cord.
This will prevent operation of the engine coolant heater
when the temperature is at or above 0°F (18°C) as
noted on the cord.
