CLEANING LEATHER SEATS

(IF

EQUIPPED)

For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with
a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough
cleaning, wipe the surface with a mild soap
and water solution. Dry the area with a soft
cloth.

If you cannot completely clean the leather
using a mild soap and water solution, you
can try a commercially available leather
cleaning product designed for automotive
interiors.

Note: To check for compatibility, first test
any cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.

You should:

remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner

clean spills and stains as quickly as
possible

check for compatibility by first testing

CLEANING THE ALLOY
WHEELS

Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to
warm or hot wheel rims and covers.

Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in
combination with brush agitation to remove
brake dust and dirt, could wear away the
clear coat finish over a period of time.

Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based
or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel
wool, fuels or strong household detergent.

Note: If you intend parking your vehicle for
an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so.
This will reduce the risk of increased
corrosion of the brake discs, brake pads and
linings.

Note: Some automatic car washes may
cause damage to the finish on your wheel
rims and covers.

Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated
with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain
their condition we recommend that you:

Clean them weekly with the
recommended wheel and tire cleaner.

Use a sponge to remove heavy
deposits of dirt and brake dust
accumulation.

Rinse them thoroughly with a
pressurized stream of water when you
have completed the cleaning process.

We recommend that you use Ford service
wheel cleaner. Make sure that you read
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Using other non-recommended cleaning
products can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
