CELL PHONE USE

The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to

avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.

POSITIVE RETENTION FLOOR MAT (IF EQUIPPED)

To install floor mats that have a retention post:

Position the floor mat so that the
eyelet is over the pointed end of the
retention post and rotate forward to
lock in. Make sure that the mat does
not interfere with the operation of
the accelerator or the brake pedal.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.

To install floor mats that have a screw in retainer:

1. Move the driver’s seat to the most rearward position

2. Position the driver’s side floor mat with the rear of the mat against left
(outboard) front edge of seat track mounting bracket.

3. Use a screwdriver to screw locator post into vehicle carpeting. Exert
pressure while turning to pierce the carpeting.

When installed properly, the locator will not screw down tightly, but will
rotate freely.
