rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm water to
gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running parallel to the
heater wires.
■Caring for leather areas

brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlappin g circles. Do not apply water. The excel-

belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
