Floor Mat Safety
We are sure you are aware of recent events that have prompted another OEM to issue recalls involving several million vehicles. One of the issues
being focused on by NHTSA is the possibility that the floor mats in these vehicles may interfere with accelerator or brake pedal movement.
Given the critical safety concerns involved, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind our dealers of the proper procedures for installing floor mats
in our vehicles so they may properly communicate this information to our customers:
^ Any existing floor mats should be removed prior to installing new floor mats. Never install floor mats on top of existing floor mats.
^ Floor mats must be secured using the MB floor mat fixation system. We do not recommend using aftermarket floor mats that are not compatible
with this fixation system. For additional information, please refer to the installation instructions included with floor mat sets.

^ Floor mats are model specific. Only install floor mats designed for a specific model and model year. Do not install floor mats if you are unsure of
the model application.
^ Ensure that the driver's mat is installed in the driver's foot area - passenger mat in the passenger foot area.
^ Ensure that floor mats are installed correctly - not upside down!
^ Floor mats should be checked periodically for proper fastening and to insure that the floor mat is not interfering with pedal movement.
^ We strongly recommend only using Genuine Mercedes-Benz floor mats. These are the only floor mats approved for use in Mercedes-Benz
vehicles.
^ Only Genuine Mercedes-Benz floor mats utilize the factory-approved fixation system.
Adhering to these recommendations can help to prevent potentially dangerous situations for our customers. This notice applies to both carpet and
all-season floor mats.
