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 sucient
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.
