WARNING!

(Continued)

Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top

of already installed floor mats. Additional floor
mats and other coverings will reduce the size of the
pedal area and interfere with the pedals.

Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always

properly reinstall and secure floor mats that have
been removed for cleaning.

Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the

driver footwell while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the brake pedal and accel-
erator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.

If required, mounting posts must be properly in-

stalled, if not equipped from the factory.

Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or
mounting can cause interference with the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.

Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make Outside
The Vehicle

Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear

patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects

lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts

and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.

Check the wheel bolts for tightness. Check the tires

(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake lights and

exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn

signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument

panel.
