material the handle is made of will
glow for hours in the darkness of
the luggage compartment following

the luggage compartment near the

Positive retention floor mat
Position the floor mat in the
footwell. Place the mat eyelet over
the pointed end of the retention
post from the rear and rotate
forward to install. Adjust the floor
mat position to allow proper
operation of the accelerator pedal,
brake pedal, and clutch pedal (if
equipped).
To remove, lift the floor mat just
forward of the retention post and
rotate it rearward to disengage it
from the retention post.
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment locked
and keep keys out of a child’s
reach. Unsupervised children
could lock themselves in an open
trunk and risk injury. Children
should be taught not to play in
vehicles.
On hot days, the
temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time
can cause heat-related injury or
death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
