Always check that the floor mats
do not interfere with the pedals.
.Use the floor mat with the
correct side up. Do not turn
it over.
.Do not place anything on top of
the driver side floor mat.
.Use only a single floor mat on
the driver side.
.Do not place one floor mat on
top of another.

place by two button-type retainers.
The passenger side floor mat is held
in place by one button-type retainer.

remove. 2. Reinstall by lining up the floor
mat retainer openings over the
carpet retainers and snapping
into position.
