WARNING

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

■

When installing the driver’s floor mat 

●

Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.

●

With the engine stopped and the shift
lever in P (automatic transmission) or N
(manual transmission), fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make sure it
does not interfere with the floor mat.
