Rubber seals

on page 153.
All door seals and window guides are factory-treated with a colourless matt var-
nish layer to prevent the freezing of painted body parts and to protect against
driving noise.
Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products whatsoever.
CAUTION
Applying additional treatments to the seals can corrode the protective coating,
and driving noise may occur.
