Floor mat
Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same model and model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place onto the carpet.

into the floor mat eyelets.

retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.

When installing the driver’s floor mat

provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
