Pedal area
Pedals
The pedals must always be free to move and
must never be obstructed by floor mats or
any objects in the footwell.
• Make sure that none of the pedals is ob-
structed and all of the pedals can be pressed
all the way down to the floor.
• Make sure that all pedals are able to return
freely to their original positions.
Only use floor mats which leave the pedal area
free and can be securely fastened in the foot-
well.
Safety first 161
If one of the brake circuits should fail, in-
creased brake pedal travel will be required to
bring the vehicle safely to a stop.
A
WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel
can cause loss of vehicle control and criti-
cal situations in traffic.
- Never place objects in the driver's foot-
well. Such objects could move under the
pedals and interfere with their proper
function . In the event of sudden braking
or a change of direction, you would not
be able to use the pedals. This could re-
sult in a loss of control and possibly
cause an accident.
Floor mats on the driver's side
Use only floor mots which can be securely fas-
tened in the footwell and do not obstruct the
pedals.
• Make sure that floor mats are securely fas-
tened and cannot interfere with the pedals
Q.&..
Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and are firmly secured to pre-
vent them from slipping . You can obtain suita-
ble floor mats from your dealer or a specialist
retailer.
A
WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel
can cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal injury.
-Always make sure that floor mats are
properly secured.
- Never lay or install additional floor mats
or other floor coverings over the existing
floor mats; this would restrict the pedal
area and possibly obstruct the pedals,
which could cause an accident.
