As a highly practical automotive product, car mats can be effectively waterproof, dustproof, and non-slip, and are suitable for use in rainy and cold weather. There are more and more types and varieties.
However, there are also many traffic accidents caused by car floor mats. In these accidents, the poor quality and rough workmanship of the car floor mats have become the source of the accident.
1. Anti-slip car floor mats with positioning buckles are safer
The car mat is laid on the bottom of the car and is the closest to the car parts such as brakes, clutches and accelerators. The hazard of car mats sliding is very high.
In addition to looking at whether the shape, size, and thickness match the interior space of the car, you should also try to choose a non-slip mat with a positioning buckle. Generally speaking, if the car mats slide, it may be caused by the size and slip resistance of the car mats.
It is recommended that consumers choose the foot pads with anti-slip positioning buckles, which can increase the anti-skid degree and stability. It is safer to choose the original special car foot pads.
Inferior and low-quality plastic foot pads will slip off after a period of use. If the car owner is not careful, the foot pad may be kicked near the clutch or brake plate, affecting driving safety.
In addition, no matter what kind of car floor mat is chosen, consumers should try to experience it in person after installation. If it is not suitable, they should change the style that matches the model as soon as possible, so as not to affect the driving safety.
2. Car floor mats made of flame retardant materials are more secure
Car spontaneous combustion incidents are reported in the news from time to time, and car floor mats made of flammable materials such as foam and plastic are likely to become the source or combustion support of automobile spontaneous combustion.
Therefore, when purchasing car mats, choose car mats made of flame retardant materials, and the safety performance will be greatly improved.
3. Car floor mats with formal environmental testing reports are healthier
Among various foot pads, some foot pad manufacturers use inferior materials in order to reduce costs, and these materials will emit relatively strong odors, especially in high temperature environments.
Long-term inhalation of these harmful gases will cause serious damage to people's health, and it is also easy to cause motion sickness, which brings hidden dangers to the body and driving safety.
In order to avoid secondary pollution, consumers should buy environmentally friendly floor mats, and pay attention to whether the auto floor mats have formal test reports that are qualified for environmental protection testing items.
In addition, choosing high-quality car mats, daily maintenance and correct use are also crucial. When using it for the first time, put it in a ventilated place or in the sun to perform a preliminary "odor removal" for the foot pad. If it is a transparent latex foot pad, it should not be exposed to the sun.
In addition, car owners should wash the foot pads frequently. After rain or after cleaning the vehicle, it is recommended that the water that accidentally flows to the car floor can be fully evaporated by drying in the sun.
At the same time, when washing the car, try to avoid getting the car floor mats wet. If it is a foot pad made of imitation fluff, nylon and other materials, it must be aired to make it dry before it can be put into the car for continued use.
