{ 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.
