WARNING
Objects in the driver footwell can hinder pedal operation. This can lead to loss of control of the vehicle and increase
the risk of serious injury.
● Make sure that all pedals can always be operated without any hindrance.
● The floor mats must always be properly secured in the footwell.
● No additional floor mats or other floor coverings should be placed over the fitted floor mat.
● Make sure that no objects can enter the driver footwell while the vehicle is in motion.
● If there are any objects in the footwell, remove them when the vehicle is parked.
● Wear shoes that provide good grip for your feet when using the pedals.
WARNING
Always observe current traffic regulations and speed limits, and think ahead when driving. Correct interpretation of
a driving situation can make the difference between reaching your destination safely and having an accident with
serious injuries.
● Take regular breaks on long journeys – at least every two hours.
NOTICE
The pedals must be freely operable at all times. For example, a larger brake pedal travel will be necessary in order to
stop the vehicle if a brake circuit fails. The brake pedal will have to be depressed further and harder than normal.
