Frequently Asked Questions

• What are Foton Dash Mats?

  Foton dash mats are custom-fit dashboard covers designed to protect your dash from harsh UV exposure, reduce windscreen glare, and help keep your cabin cooler. They sit neatly over the dashboard and are made to match your vehicle’s dash shape.

• Are these Foton dash mats ready made and ready to ship?

  Yes — this Foton dash mat range is listed as ready made and ready to ship. Choose the option that matches your exact Foton model/series so fitment and cut-outs align correctly.

• Are Foton dash mats custom fit or universal?

  They are custom-made to fit your exact dashboard, rather than “one size fits all” universal mats. This helps the mat sit flatter, look neater, and avoid blocking key dash features.

• Which Foton model is shown on this page?

  This page includes options for the Foton Tunland P201 (Dual Cab) covering the 10/2012 to 07/2017 date range, including Black and Charcoal variants.

• Do the dash mats have cut-outs for vents, sensors, and speakers?

  Yes. These dash mats are designed with precision cut-outs for vents, sensors, and speakers (where applicable) so your dashboard functions remain unobstructed and the fit is accurate.

• Will a dash mat help reduce glare on the windscreen?

  Yes. A dash mat reduces glare by minimising reflections from the dashboard onto the windscreen, which can improve visibility and reduce eye strain when driving in bright conditions.

• Do Foton dash mats protect against UV damage, cracking, and fading?

  Yes. Dash mats help shield your dashboard from UV exposure, which can contribute to cracking, fading, and premature ageing—especially in Australian conditions.

• Do dash mats affect airbag deployment or sound quality?

  A correctly matched mat is designed to allow proper airbag deployment and protect speakers without muffling sound. Always choose the correct dash mat option for your vehicle so openings and clearances match your dashboard design.

• Can a dash mat help keep the cabin cooler?

  Yes. Dash mats can help reduce heat build-up on the dashboard surface and may assist your air conditioner to work more efficiently, helping keep the cabin cooler when the vehicle is parked or driving in hot weather.

• How do I choose between Black and Charcoal?

  Black typically suits darker interiors and offers a strong glare-reduction look. Charcoal is a popular option for mid-tone interiors and can give a slightly softer appearance. Choose the colour that best matches your cabin trim and personal preference.

• How do I install and clean a Foton dash mat?

  Installation is usually as simple as placing the mat on the dashboard, aligning it to vents/sensors/speakers, and securing it using the supplied fastening method (if provided). For cleaning, remove it occasionally to shake out dust, vacuum lightly, and spot-clean with a mild cleaner suitable for the material.
