If you use floor mats*, make sure
that there is enough clearance between
them and the pedals, and that they are
secured in place. Never place any loose
objects in the driver's footwell.
Check that the floor mat is secure be!
fore setting off, and adjust it if neces!
sary. An insufficiently secured floor
mat could slip and obstruct pedal ac!
tions.
Do not place floor mats on top of each
other, as it will then not be possible to
secure them.
