Pedals
Do not allow floor mats or other objects to obstruct the free passage of the
pedals.
Floor mats should leave the pedal area free and unobstructed and be
correctly secured in the footwell zone.
In the event of failure of a brake circuit, the brake pedal must be pressed
harder than normal to brake the vehicle.
WARNING
Objects falling into the driver's footwell could prevent use of the pedals.
This could lead the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk
of a serious accident.
x Make sure the pedals can be used at all times, with no objects rolling
underneath them.
x Always secure the mat in the foot well.
x Never place other mats or rugs on top of the original mat supplied by
the factory.
x Ensure that no objects can fall into the driver's footwell while the
vehicle is in motion.
Caution
The pedals must always have free and unobstructed passage to the floor. For
example, in case of a fault in the brake circuit, the brake pedal will need to be
pressed further to stop the vehicle. To press the brake pedal down further will
require more force than usual.
