MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 253 WARNING! Only remove the carpet for cleaning purposes. It provides insulation against high floor pan temperatures. You or your passengers could be burned if the carpet is not properly in place. Always put the carpet back into the vehicle before driving. Follow These Steps To Remove The Carpet: 1. Unsnap the front and rear floor carpets. A snap is located on the outboard side of each front seat. 2. Remove the attachment cap from the front footwell area on both the driver and passenger side. The cap is removed by pulling it straight out. 3. Remove the front and rear floor carpets. 4. Remove the cargo floor and wheelhouse carpets. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with an Add-ATrunk™ it must be removed to be able to remove the cargo floor and wheelhouse carpets. For Add-A-Trunk™ removal procedure, refer to "Storage" in Section 3 of this manual. Follow These Steps To Replace The Carpet: 1. Place the front floor carpets in the vehicle. 2. Attach the carpet to the studs in the footwell and press on the attachment caps to secure the carpet. 3. Place rear floor carpet in vehicle and snap rear carpet to front floor carpet. 4. Install wheelhouse carpet followed by the cargo floor carpet. 5. Reinstall Add-A-Trunk™ if so equipped. Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly. 7
