stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor

into contact with electrical components such as the audio system above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.

with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
