Adjustable Brake Pedal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle has an adjustable brake pedal to increase driver comfort. The brake pedal position is changed in phase with the accelerator pedal. The system is adjusted by pressing the dash mounted switch that powers the drive motor mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly. The 2-way motor operates backward (away from the driver) or forward (toward the driver) to adjust the accelerator pedal directly and the brake pedal through the drive cable attached to the brake pedal assembly.

The dual brake system is split into front and rear circuits, with the front wheel brakes comprising one circuit and the rear wheel brakes comprising the other circuit.
