WARNING!
Only remove the carpet for cleaning purposes. It
provides insulation against high floor pan tempera-
tures. You or your passengers could be burned if the
carpet is not properly in place. Always put the carpet
back into the vehicle before driving.
Follow These Steps To Remove The Carpet:
1. Unsnap the front and rear floor carpets. A snap is
located on the outboard side of each front seat.
2. Remove the attachment cap from the front footwell
area on both the driver and passenger side. The cap is
removed by pulling it straight out.
3. Remove the front and rear floor carpets.
4. Remove the cargo floor and wheelhouse carpets.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with an Add-A-
TrunkŸ it must be removed to be able to remove the cargo
floor and wheelhouse carpets. For Add-A-TrunkŸ removal
procedure, refer to ªStorageº in Section 3 of this manual.
Follow These Steps To Replace The Carpet:
1. Place the front floor carpets in the vehicle.
2. Attach the carpet to the studs in the footwell and press
on the attachment caps to secure the carpet.
3. Place rear floor carpet in vehicle and snap rear carpet
to front floor carpet.
4. Install wheelhouse carpet followed by the cargo floor
carpet.
5. Reinstall Add-A-TrunkŸ if so equipped.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage will also weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the
vehicle to wash them.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.
