Driving Hints  
Always use floor mats that are designed  
1. To install floor mats, position the floor  
mat so that the eyelets are over the  
retention posts and press down to lock  
the floor mat in.  
to fit the footwell of your vehicle. Only use  
floor mats that are firmly secured to  
retention posts.  
2. To remove the floor mat, place your  
hands under the floor mat by the  
eyelets and pull upward.  
WARNING  
Make sure that the floor mat is  
secured properly using the  
appropriate fixings, and do not  
position the floor mat so that it interferes  
with the operation of the pedals.  
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause  
loss of vehicle control and increase the risk  
of serious personal injury.  
Always make sure that the floor mats are  
properly attached to the retention posts  
in the carpet that are supplied with your  
vehicle. Floor mats must be properly  
secured to both retention posts to ensure  
mats do not shift out of position.  
Never place floor mats or any other  
covering in the vehicle footwell that cannot  
be properly secured to prevent them from  
moving and interfering with the pedals or  
the ability to control the vehicle.  
Never place floor mats or any other  
covering on top of already installed floor  
mats. Floor mats should always rest on  
top of the vehicle carpeting surface and  
not another floor mat or other covering.  
Additional floor mats or any other covering  
will reduce the pedal clearance and  
potentially interfere with pedal operation.  
Check attachment of floor mats on a  
regular basis. Always properly reinstall and  
secure floor mats that have been removed  
for cleaning or replacement.  
Failure to properly follow floor mat  
installation or attachment instructions can  
potentially cause interference with pedal  
operation causing loss of control of vehicle.
