Risk of accident
Do not put any objects in the driver's footwell.
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.
Do not place several floormats on top of one
another.
Otherwise, the objects or floormats could get
between the pedals in the event of sudden
braking or acceleration. You may then no lon-
ger be able to brake, change gear or acceler-
ate as intended. This may result in an accident
and injury.
