The original equipment floor mat providedwith your vehicle was specifically designedfor your vehicle.Always properly position the floor mat andassure it does not interfere with operation ofthe pedals. Always use the retaining clip onthe driver’s floorboard to secure the floormat. When used, this clip will help preventthe floor mat from moving forward and possi-bly interfering with the operation of the ped-als. To prevent the floor mat from movingforward and possibly interfering with theoperation of the pedals, MITSUBISHIMOTORS GENUINE floor mats are recom-mended.
