Note: Beginning in 1998, vehicles were equipped with a brake light switch that could only be adjusted once. If it is necessary to adjust the brake pedal height, this switch must be replaced with a new one.
Pedal height
1. Pedal height is the distance between the pedal pad and the floor (figure 12.1). If the pedal height is not correct Technical data, it needs to be adjusted. Measure the distance between the center of the pedal pad and the carpeted floor.
2. To adjust the pedal height, loosen the lock nut of the adjusting bolt and turn the bolt in the desired direction. When you turn the bolt out, the pedal height increases, and when you turn it in, it decreases. After adjusting the pedal height, you need to adjust its free play (see point 4). Tighten the lock nut of the adjusting bolt.

Brake pedal free play
4. Brake pedal free play is the distance the brake pedal drops before the brake system begins to work (figure 12.4). If the pedal free play differs from that given in Technical data, adjust it.
5. To adjust the pedal free play, loosen the push rod lock nut (see Figure 12.1), then turn the pusher so that the pedal free play becomes equal to the required one. Tighten the lock nut.
