Carpets and floor mats

WARNING
Objects in the driver's floor area can limit the
pedal distance or block a depressed pedal.
There is a risk of an accident. Stow objects in
the vehicle such that they are secured and can‐
not enter into the driver's floor area. Use floor
mats that are suitable for the vehicle and can
be safely attached to the floor. Do not use
loose floor mats and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure that there is sufficient clear‐
ance for the pedals. Ensure that the floor mats
are securely fastened again after they were re‐
moved, for instance for cleaning.
The floor mats can be removed from the car's in‐
terior for cleaning.
If the floor carpets are very dirty, clean with a mi‐
crofiber cloth and water or a textile cleaner. To
prevent matting of the carpet, rub back and forth
in the direction of travel only.
Mount for trailer hitch

Regularly grease or oil bearings and sliding surfa‐
ces with resin-free greases or oils.
Before using steam cleaners or high pressure
cleaners on the vehicle, remove the ball head
and insert the cover into the mount.

moistened with a small amount of glass deter‐
gent.
