the pedals.
There should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor coverings around the pedal

Greater pedal travel may be necessary
if there is a fault in the brake system.

It should always be possible to depress
the clutch and accelerator pedals fully.

All the pedals must be able to return,
unhindered, to their rest positions.
For these reasons, only fit foot mats which
leave the pedal area completely free and
which have a non-slip surface.
