WARNING

Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-

sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result

in a collision and serious personal injury.

Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.

Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Whenever stalled or stopped for repair, move the vehicle a

safe distance off the road, turn on the emergency flashers, stop

the engine, and use other warning devices to warn approaching

traffic.

vehicle damage.

Pedals

Fig. 136 Pedals in vehicles with manual transmission: 1 Accelerator

pedal, 2 Brake pedal, 3 Clutch pedal.

Fig. 137 Pedals in vehicles with automatic transmission: 1 Accelera-

tor pedal, 2 Brake pedal.

¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

All pedals must always be able to move freely in and out without inter-

ference from floor mats or other things.

Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free and are held se-

curely in place with floor mat fasteners to help prevent sliding.

If a brake circuit malfunctions, more brake pedal travel is needed to

bring the vehicle to a full stop, and it is important that nothing is in the

way when you have to depress the brake pedal harder and farther

than normal.

WARNING

Objects in the driver footwell can prevent the pedals from mov-

ing freely. This can cause loss of vehicle control and increase

the risk of serious personal injuries.

Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the pedals.

Always fasten floor mats securely to the floor.

Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of al-

ready installed floor mats.

Always make sure that nothing can fall into the driver

footwell while the vehicle is moving.

NOTICE

Always make sure that the pedals are able to move freely and

that nothing can interfere with them. If a brake circuit fails, more

brake pedal travel will be needed to bring the vehicle to a stop.

The brake pedal must be pressed farther and harder than nor-

mal.
