WeatherTech Custom Fit FloorLiners Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

Engineered with precision, these liners feature advanced surfacing that channels fluids and debris to a lower reservoir, helping to minimize movement while driving. Made with a patented High-Density Tri-Extruded (HDTE) material, they offer a rigid core for strength, surface friction to the carpet, and a tactile feel.

2. Compatibility

These WeatherTech FloorLiners (Model 462302) are specifically designed for the 2nd Row of select 2013-2017 Audi SQ5 and 2009-2017 Audi Q5 models. The package includes a 2-piece liner set in Grey.

5. Operating (Protection Benefits)

Once installed, your WeatherTech FloorLiners provide continuous protection for your vehicle's interior. The advanced design ensures that spills, dirt, and debris are contained within the liner's channels and reservoir, preventing them from reaching your vehicle's carpet. This design helps maintain the cleanliness and integrity of your vehicle's interior, even under challenging conditions.

6. Maintenance

WeatherTech FloorLiners are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. To keep your liners in optimal condition:

• Regular Cleaning: Simply remove the liners from your vehicle.
• Wash: Wash with soap and water, or use WeatherTech's dedicated cleaner and protector.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Dry: Allow to air dry completely before reinstalling them in your vehicle.

7. Troubleshooting

While WeatherTech FloorLiners are designed for a precise fit, minor issues can sometimes occur. Here are some common concerns and solutions:

• Liner Not Lying Flat: New liners, especially those shipped rolled, may take some time to settle and conform to the vehicle's floor. Placing them in direct sunlight or using a hairdryer on a low setting can help soften the material and allow it to flatten. Ensure no debris is underneath the liner preventing it from sitting flush.
• Slipping/Movement: Ensure all existing retention systems (hooks, posts) are properly engaged with the liner. The HDTE material is designed to provide surface friction, but if excessive movement occurs, double-check installation and ensure the vehicle's carpet is clean and dry.
• Odor: New products may have a slight manufacturing odor. This is normal and will dissipate over time with ventilation.
