Floor Mats
{ Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can
interfere with the pedals.
Interference with the pedals can
cause unintended acceleration and/ or increased stopping distance
which can cause a crash and injury.
Make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the pedals.
Use the following guidelines for proper floor mat usage.
. The original equipment floor mats were designed for your vehicle.
If the floor mats need replacing, it is recommended that GM certified floor mats be purchased. Non-GM floor mats may not fit properly
and may interfere with the pedals.
Always check that the floor mats do not interfere with the pedals.
. Do not use a floor mat if the
vehicle is not equipped with a
floor mat retainer on the driver side floor.
. Use the floor mat with the correct side up. Do not turn it over.
. Do not place anything on top of the driver side floor mat.
. Use only a single floor mat on the driver side.
. Do not place one floor mat on top of another.
The driver side floor mat is held in place by two button-type retainers.
