other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genu-
ine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the

●Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.

●Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
