Risk of accident
Do not keep any objects in the driver's foot-
well. If you use a floormat or carpet in the
driver's footwell, make sure that they are
correctly secured and that there is sufficient
clearance for the pedals.
Objects could otherwise get between the
pedals in the event of sudden braking or ac-
celeration. You may then no longer be able
to brake, change gear or accelerate as in-
tended. This may result in an accident and
injury.

Risk of poisoning

spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
