Removable floor mats
Whenever you remove the mats for any reason, the mats must be
reinstalled before passengers ride in your vehicle. The floor mats
are specifically designed to keep objects out of the seat tracks. The
cargo mat is reversible.

CAUTION
It is important to replace the floor mats whenever they are
removed for any reason. The floor mats are intended to help
prevent the possibility that high heeled shoes or similar
objects might become stuck in the seat tracks. Failure to
replace the floor mats might result in personal injury.
Be sure to keep the seat tracks clear of debris by cleaning them
periodically.
Review the following illustrations so you will know the proper way to
place the floor mats with the various seating arrangements available
in your vehicle.

Floor mat positioning aid
Positioning pins are attached to three of the
floor mats. The cargo mat and front mats do
not have pins. However, the driver's front
floor mat has a grommet which is placedover the floor mat positioning bracket lo-
cated at the base of the driver's seat.
Push the positioning pins into the seat
tracks to ensure correct installation, then
straighten the mats as necessary.
The step mats have holes in addition to
pins. When the mats are arranged properly,
the positioning pins of the two mats on
either side of each step mat should fit
through the holes in the step mats and into
the seat track.
WARNING
cDo not allow passengers to use
seats placed in storage positions
because the seat belts will not pro-
tect the occupants. Be sure to use
the proper seat belts for each seat
location. Improper seat belt usage
will increase the risk of severe injury
in an accident.
cIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.cProperly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
cDo not allow people to ride in any
area of the vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
cBe sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and is using a seat belt
properly.
cFailure to follow proper seating in-
structions in this section could re-
sult in serious personal injury in an
accident or during a sudden stop.
