Proper installation of car mats can not only improve the appearance of the car interior, but also ensure driving safety. The following are detailed installation steps and precautions:
1. Preparation
Cleaning the floor in the car: Use a broom and a wet rag to thoroughly clean the floor in the car to ensure that the surface is clean and flat, free of dust and stains. After the floor is completely dry, proceed to the next step.
Choose a special car mat: The floor shapes of different models are different. Choose a mat that matches the model to ensure fit and safety.
2. Installation steps
Determine the position of the mat: Place the mat flat on the left foot operation area of the driver's seat, adjust the electric seat, and fine-tune the placement point of the mat according to the pedal position to ensure that the mat fits the edge of the car completely.
Fix the mat: Tension installation: Align the buckle position of the mat and press it to fix it. Tension installation has a better fixing effect, but it is necessary to remove the front and rear seats to ensure that all screw holes are aligned and restored.
Velcro installation: Stick the Velcro to the floor of the car to ensure that the position of the foot pad is adjustable and firmly fixed.
Step on the foot pad to fix the shape: After installation, step on the foot pad several times to make it fit the floor surface more closely, simulating the actual use condition.
3. Precautions
Avoid reversing the front and back sides: Some foot pads have similar materials on the front and back sides. The front and back sides need to be judged according to the shape of the outer edge (such as the position of the rest pedal) to ensure correct installation.
Ensure that the pedal is not obstructed: During installation, the upper edge of the foot pad on the driver's side cannot affect the normal use of the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal.
Do not lay double-layer foot pads: Laying double-layer foot pads will cause the upper foot pad to shift, affecting driving safety. Only one layer can be laid.
Fix items in the car: Make sure there are no fixed items in the car (such as water bottles, fire extinguishers, etc.) to prevent rolling and getting stuck in the pedals during sudden braking.
4. Recommended foot pad types
Full TPE environmentally friendly foot pads: Made of full TPE material, no formaldehyde and no odor, good wear resistance and resilience, 1:1 mold design, perfect fit to the car surface, easy to load and unload.
Full surround foot pads: When installing, align the buckle position, press and secure, and ensure that the foot pad fits tightly to the floor.
