For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always
observe the following:

To install the floor mat
NOTE
 The shape of the mat and the number of
retaining clips may vary depending on the
vehicle model.
WARNING
 If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with the
operation of the pedals. Interference with
the pedals can cause unintended accelera-
tion and/or increased stopping distances
resulting in a crash and injury. Always
make sure the floor mat does not interfere
with the accelerator or brake pedal.
 Always use the retaining clip on the
driver’s floorboard to secure the floor
mat.
 Always install the mat with the correct
side facing down.
 Never install a second mat over or under
an existing floor mat.
 Do not use a floor mat designed for
another model vehicle even if it is a
Mitsubishi genuine floor mat.
 Before driving, be sure to check the fol-
lowing:
• Periodically check that the floor mat is
properly secured with the retaining clips.
If you remove the floor mat while clean-
ing the inside of your vehicle or for any
other reason, always check the condition
of the floor mat after it has been rein-
stalled.
• While the vehicle is stopped with the
electric motor unit off, check that the
floor mat is not interfering with the ped-
als by depressing the pedals fully.
