Refer to the ?Symptoms/Conditions? for a detailed description of the changes. Be sure to consult with the Customer on what software version they prefer, Enhanced Pedal or Standard Pedal. Once the software choice is programmed it is a permanent change. NOTE: There is another software choice available, in addition to addressing all the symptom/conditions listed.
