SUBJECT:
Openings in Front Passenger Side Floor Carpet
REFERENCE:
VIDA
DESCRIPTION:
Other markets have optional child seat consoles installed from the factory; openings in the front passenger side floor carpet are there to accommodate this installation. Regardless of whether the vehicle was equipped from the factory with the child seat option, all models built in the above chassis ranges have the carpet openings. Over time, these openings may begin to become noticeable.
Note:
After these chassis ranges, variants without child seat consoles will no longer have the carpet openings.
SERVICE:
If the opening has become noticeable place a piece of strong tape on the backside to keep the opening tight and minimize the visibility as described in the following.
Note:
For reference / location of the openings, this sample picture shows the child seat consoles mounts installed.
The North American Market vehicles will not have these mounts.
