Floor Mats
{Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong size or is
not properly installed, it can
interfere with the pedals.
Interference with the pedals can
cause unintended acceleration and/

Make sure the floor mat does not
interfere with the pedals.
Use the following guidelines for
proper floor mat usage.
. The original equipment floor mats
were designed for your vehicle.
If the floor mats need replacing, it
is recommended that certified
floor mats be purchased.
Non-certified floor mats may not
fit properly and may interfere with
the pedals. Always check that the
floor mats do not interfere with
the pedals.

proper tools, and equipment are
available. If they are not, see your
