Mazda CX-8 - Floor Mat

Floor Mat
We recommend the use of Genuine
Mazda floor mats.
WARNING
Make sure the oor mats are secured with
the grommets or the retainers to prevent
them from bunching up under the foot
pedals (Driver's side):
Using a oor mat that is not secured is
dangerous as it will interfere with the
accelerator and brake pedal operation
(driver's side), which could result in an
accident.
Only use a oor mat which conforms to the
shape of the oor on the driver's side and
make sure it is oriented correctly.
Secure the oor mat using the grommets or
retainers.
There are various ways to secure oor mats
depending on the type used, therefore
secure the mat according to the type.
After installing the oor mat, make sure
that it does not slide from side to side or
back and forth, and that there is sucient
clearance with the accelerator and brake
pedals on the driver's side.
After removing the oor mat for cleaning
or some other reason, always securely
reinstall it while paying attention to the
precautions just mentioned.
Do not install two oor mats, one on top of
the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two oor mats, one on top of the
other, on the driver's side is dangerous as
the retention pins can only keep one oor
mat from sliding forward.
Loose oor mat(s) will interfere with the
foot pedals and could result in an accident.
If using an all-weather mat for winter use
always remove the original oor mat.
When setting a floor mat, position the
floor mat so that its grommets or retainers
are inserted over the pointed end of the
retention posts.
