Your vehicle has a fastener to keep the
driver’s side floor mat from sliding forward
and possibly interfering with the pedals.
Whenever you put the driver’s side floor
mat back in the vehicle after it has been
removed, be sure to hook the floor mat
grommet(s) to the fastener(s) and position
the floor mat properly in the footwell.
When you replace the floor mats in your
vehicle with a different type such as all-
weather floor mats, we highly recommend
using genuine SUZUKI floor mats for
proper fitting.
Luggage Compartment Cover Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment can be hidden from

The seatback should always be securely
latched in a fairly upright position when

partment cover.

tener(s).
