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.

Note: Follow the same procedure as cleaning leather seats for cleaning

leather instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces. See

Cleaning Leather Seats in this chapter.

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.

2. Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially

available leather cleaning product for automotive interiors. Test any

cleaner or stain remover on an inconspicuous area.

3. Alternatively, wipe the surface with a damp, clean, white, cotton cloth

and a mild soap and water solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.

4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product

to a clean, white, cotton cloth and press the cloth onto the soiled area.

Allow this to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
