cle when it is in the sun.

the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle's electrical com-
ponents.●
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such
as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded
or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.●
