CAUTION
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  the  driver’s  floor  mat  to  slip,  possibly  interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle, leading to a serious accident.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat 
●Do  not  use  floor  mats  designed  for  other  models  or  different  model  year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
●Always install the  floor mat  securely using  the  retaining  hooks  (clips)  pro-
vided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check  that  the  floor  mat  is  securely
fixed  in  the  correct  place  with  all  the
provided  retaining  hooks  (clips).  Be
especially  careful  to  perform  this  check
after cleaning the floor.
●With the hybrid system stopped and the
shift  position  in  P,  fully  depress  each
pedal  to  the  floor  to  make  sure  it  does
not interfere with the floor mat.
