The carbocation reacts with the alcohol in another SN1 reaction to give a protonated acetal. The proton bonded to the oxygen atom leaves, giving an acetal. The reaction is acid-catalyzed. It starts acetal formation by protonating the hemiacetal, and H+ is regenerated in step 4 when the acetal forms.
