Buick Encore: 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.
The driver side floor mat is held in
place by a button-type retainer.

Removing and Replacing the Floor Mats
- Pull up on the rear of the floor
mat to unlock the retainers 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.
