WARNING
Loose objects can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle when the vehicle is moving,
especially during sudden maneuvers and hard braking. This can cause serious personal
injuries and even make the driver lose control of the vehicle.
Never let animals ride in the vehicle's open storage compartments, on top of the instru-
ment panel, or on the shelf behind the rear seats.
Never put hard, heavy or sharp objects in these places or in articles of clothing or bags in
the passenger compartment.
Always keep storage compartments closed while driving.
WARNING
Objects in the driver footwell can prevent the pedals from moving freely. This can cause loss
of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injuries.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the pedals.
Always fasten floor mats securely to the floor.
Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already installed floor mats.
Always make sure that nothing can fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle is moving.
