The pedals must always be free to move and
must never be interfered with by a floor mat or
any other object.

to the
ir
original positions.
Only use floor mats that
leave
the pedal area free
and can be secured with floor
mat
fasteners.
If a brake circuit fails, increased brake pedal trav-
el is
required
to bring the vehicle to a full stop
.
