Pedal Adjuster
The pedal adjuster is a safety feature designed to prevent injury to the driver during airbag deployment. The pedal adjuster allows the pedals to move towards the driver as opposed to the driver moving towards the pedals. This keeps the driver at a safe distance from the airbag and its potentially harmful deployment.
