Driving and parking

Warning!
Make sure that absolutely no objects are ob-
structing the pedals' range of movement.
Keep the driver's footwell clear of all obsta-
cles. If there are any floormats or carpets in
the footwell, make sure that the pedals still
have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers
the objects could get caught between the
pedals. You could then no longer brake or
accelerate. This could lead to accidents and
injury.
