For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side

airbags:

• Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

• Remove light stains and soil with Motorcraft® Professional Strength

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.

• If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first

with Motorcraft® Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use

Motorcraft® Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area

immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set.

• Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can

stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of

the seat materials.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INSTRUMENT

CLUSTER LENS

WARNING: Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents

when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid

contamination of the airbag system.

Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens with a clean, damp, white,

cotton cloth, then use a clean and dry, white, cotton cloth to dry these

areas.

• Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper portion

of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the

driver from undesirable windshield reflection.

•

Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in contact

with certain products, such as insect repellent and suntan lotion, in

order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted surfaces.

• Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the

finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens.

• Do not allow air fresheners and hand sanitizers to spill on interior

surfaces. If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage may not be

covered by your warranty.

If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has been spilled on the instrument

panel or on interior trim surfaces, clean as follows:

1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, white, cotton cloth.
