11. DRIVING CONTROLS
Foot Pedals
The pedals for the clutch, brake and accelerator are arranged
conventionally, and are grouped closely together for ready access
and refined driving technique.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drive the car without suitable narrow soled,
flat heeled footwear. Bare feet may inhibit the application of full
pressure to the brake pedal, and adversely affect your control
of the car. Bare feet could also suffer burns from sun heated
metal surfaces in the car.
Footwell Mats
WARNING
It is essential that any floor covering in the footwell is properly
secured. Loose mats can interfere with the operation of the
pedals causing possible loss of control and a crash in which
you or others could be killed or seriously injured.
The carpets fitted in the footwells of the Evora are secured by
two quarter turn fasteners at the rear, and Velcro strips beneath
the front edge. Always ensure that the carpets are secured cor-
rectly, and never fit any loose mats on top.
Clutch Pedal (with manual transmission)
NOTICE

fewmoments,sliptheclutchto‘hold’thecaronaslope;

The clutch pedal must be fully depressed during each
gear shift.
Do not drive with the left foot resting on the clutch pedal, as
rapid wear of the clutch components can result. A left foot
rest is provided for comfort and convenience.
