Mr. Liang, the car owner, recently experienced a harrowing moment: shortly after starting his car in the morning, the clutch suddenly malfunctioned. Fortunately, the car was not moving too fast and he barely managed to stop it in time to avoid hitting the car in front. After breaking out in a cold sweat, he checked carefully and found that it was actually the floor mat that got stuck under the clutch! His experience immediately resonated with some other car owners: due to the oversized floor mats given by the 4S store, they often get stuck under the clutch pedal, causing many car owners to encounter dangerous situations where the clutch cannot be disengaged when stepped on. Considering the hidden dangers of the original floor mats, some car manufacturers even implemented large-scale recalls not long ago, citing reasons to prevent the detachment of front-row floor mats, which could interfere with throttle operation and cause accidents. With the change in temperature, personalized floor mats from the recent market have once again become popular among car owners. So, how should people correctly choose high-quality floor mats?
How to measure the "safety factor" of floor mats
With more and more cases of floor mats causing trouble reported in the media, people are beginning to pay attention to the safety factors of these usually overlooked car accessories. Industry experts point out that there are mainly a few aspects in which floor mats can affect normal driving safety. When selecting, one should focus on these aspects to evaluate the quality of the product.
1. Whether it is prone to slipping
Danger Index: ★★★★
Floor mats that are either too large or too small can cause them to shift during braking. If your pedal gets stuck or hooked by the floor mat, it could lead to traffic accidents. It's not hard to imagine that in a high-speed moving vehicle, if an emergency occurs, drivers can usually avoid accidents by timely braking. However, at this critical moment, if the floor mat shifts, preventing the driver from applying the brakes in time, the likelihood of an accident occurring would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Technical experts explained to reporters that the main reasons for car floor mats sliding are two: one, the size of the floor mat is unsuitable, so it easily shifts; another reason is that the bottom of ordinary car floor mats is usually flat, making it easy to slide when stepped on. Some car floor mats add "anti-slip nails" to the bottom, but due to process limitations, these "anti-slip nails" are hard and do not provide good grip. Therefore, they may still cause sliding during use. ChiTuMa car floor mats suggest that when selecting, you should choose those with specially designed anti-slip soft nails (nails with good grip) at the bottom, which will not slip even under heavy pressure. Floor mats with buckle anti-slip features undoubtedly offer dual anti-slip effects. You can check the adhesive backing of the floor mat. Ordinary floor mat products often have foam-based adhesives that can easily tear, crack, and slide, which not only damages the product easily but also poses significant safety hazards while driving. High-quality floor mats have environmentally friendly rubber-made anti-slip soft nails on their back adhesive, making them safer and more durable.
2. Whether it contains toxic substances
Danger Index: ★★★
Among the various types of floor mats, some contain cheap materials and chemical additives such as chlorinated paraffin. As soon as you take the product out, it emits a strong, pungent rubber smell, especially noticeable in high-temperature environments. Long-term inhalation of these harmful odors can have significant effects on human health.
