WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  the  driver’s  floor  mat  to  slip,  possibly  interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an acc ident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat 
● Do  not  use  floor  mats  designed  for  other  models  or  different  mo del  year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
● Always install the floor  mat securely using the retaining hooks  (clips)  pro-
vided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■ Before driving
● Check  that  the  floor  mat  is  securely
fixed  in  the  correct  place  with  all  the
provided  retaining  hooks  (clips).  Be
especially  careful  to  perform  this  check
after cleaning the floor.
● With  the  engine  stopped  and  the  shift
lever  in  P,  fully  depress  each  pedal  to
the  floor  to  make  sure  it  does  not  inter-
fere with the floor mat.
