Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell of your vehicle. Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase
the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
• Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the vehicle that
cannot be properly secured to prevent them from moving and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the vehicle.
• Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already installed floor
mats. Additional floor mats and other coverings will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always properly reinstall and secure
floor mats that have been removed for cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle
is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• If required, mounting posts must be properly installed, if not equipped from the
factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference
with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
