Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

All pedals must always be able to move freely in and out without interference from floor mats or other things.

Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free and are held securely 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 moving 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 already installed floor mats.

• Always make sure that nothing can fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle is moving.

Note

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 normal.
