Floor mat anchor(s)
When using a floor mat on the front floor
carpet, make sure it attaches to the floor
mat anchor(s) in your vehicle. This keeps
the floor mat from sliding forward.
Cargo area cover (if equipped)
Use the cover to hide items stored in the
cargo area.
The cargo area cover will be lifted when
the tailgate is opened. Disconnect the
strap (1) from holder if you want to return
the cover to original position. To remove
the cargo area cover completely, lift the
cover to a 50-degree angle and pull it out
to the full (2). For installation of the cover,
reverse the removal procedure.

WARNING
The floor mat must be properly
anchored so that it will not interfere
with the operation of the accelera-
tor pedal. Any interference with the
accelerator pedal could cause the
accelerator pedal to be unable to
return to the idle position. A pedal
that cannot return to the idle posi-
tion could lead to an accident
which may result in severe person-
al injury or death.
WARNING
The following must be observed
when installing ANY floor mat to
the vehicle, so that it will not inter-
fere with the pedal.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely attached to the vehicle’s
floor mat anchor(s) before driving
the vehicle.
Do not use ANY floor mat that
cannot be firmly attached to the
vehicle’s floor mat anchors.
Do not stack floor mats on top of
one another (e.g. all-weather rub-
ber mat on top of a carpeted floor
mat). Only a single floor mat
should be installed in each posi-
tion.
IMPORTANT – Your vehicle was
manufactured with driver’s side
floor mat anchors that are designed
to securely hold the floor mat in
place. To avoid any interference
with pedal operation, HYUNDAI rec-
ommends that only the HYUNDAI
floor mat designed for use in your
vehicle be installed.
