• Condensation water drains - A - and - B - must not be sticky with wax or underbody sealant.

• There is no valve in the two condensation water drains - A - and - B -.

• When installing the heat shield under the center tunnel, ensure that it is not touching condensation water drains - A - (and - B -).

• Both condensation water drains - A - and - B - are sealed with foam seal - E - from the inside with respect to the floor panel of center console - D -.

• For the condensation water to drain out of the vehicle, condensation water drains - A - and - B - must protrude slightly from the floor panel of center console - D -.
