Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: 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 accelerator or brake pedal. 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.
Removing and Replacing the Floor Mat
The driver side floor mat is held in place by two retainers.
- Pull up on the rear of the floor mat to unlock each retainer and remove.
- Reinstall by lining up the floor mat retainer openings over the carpet retainers and snap into position.
- Make sure the floor mat is
properly secured in place.
Verify the floor mat does not interfere with the pedals.
