Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with
the pedals while driving. An unexpect-
edly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat
● Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genu-
ine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.
● Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.
● Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.
■ Before driving
● Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
● With the hybrid system stopped and
the shift position in P, fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make sure it
does not interfere with the floor mat.
