GENERAL INFORMATION

Models
'09 Tacoma

INTRODUCTION:

Some 2009 model year Tacoma vehicles are now equipped with floor mat retention grommets on both driver and passenger side carpets.

During Pre-Delivery Service (PDS), both driver and passenger side floor mats MUST be secured using the retention hooks (provided with the floor mats) to the factory carpet grommets.

CAUTION:
- ONLY use floor mats that can be retained using the retaining clips. All OEM Toyota floor mats are specifically designed to fit correctly and be retained using the retaining clips.
- Make sure the floor mat is properly placed on the vehicle carpet and secured with the retaining clips. If the floor mat is NOT properly placed and secured, it could slip and interfere with the movement of the pedals during driving and may cause an accident.
- Verify the operation of the accelerator, brake, and clutch (if equipped) pedals and clearance to the mat.
- NEVER install more than one floor mat at a time in the driver's seating position.
- If applicable, any secondary set of floor mats (based upon customer preference), such as the All Weather Floor Mats or other floor mats, MUST be placed in the trunk with all the packaging material intact. DO NOT install the secondary mat on to of the primary floor mat already installed in the driver's seating position.
