No: TSB-11-00-001
DATE: February, 2011
MODEL: All models & years
SUBJECT:
FLOOR MAT SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
AFFECTED VEHICLES
All Mitsubishi models and model years
PURPOSE
All dealership personnel should be aware of the importance of proper floor mat selection and installation. Installing the wrong floor mats or installing
floor mats incorrectly can interfere with vehicle acceleration and/or braking potentially resulting in an accident. Follow the instructions in this bulletin to
prevent pedal entrapment and/or pedal interference.
1. Always select a floor mat that is specifically designed to fit the vehicle. Genuine Mitsubishi floor mats are designed for each model vehicle to assure
proper fit with features to assure they will remain in place.
2. Do not install any floor mat that cannot be retained with a retaining clip, and always position and secure the floor mat with the retaining clip. All
Genuine Mitsubishi floor mats accommodate the retaining clips in the vehicle for which they are designed.
3. Never install more than one floor mat at a time in the driver's position. Before installing a new floor mat in the drivers position always remove the
existing floor mat. Failure to remove the existing floor mat before installing a new mat decreases the clearance between the mat and the pedals
potentially resulting in pedal entrapment and/or pedal interference. Even if the new floor mat can be retained with a retaining clip do not install it over an
existing mat.
4. After installing floor mats always verify proper operation of the accelerator, brake and clutch pedals.
Be sure that there is sufficient clearance between the pedals and floor mat for normal pedal operation to prevent pedal entrapment and/or pedal
interference.
