Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions,
solvents or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or
oil/petroleum-based leather conditioners. These products may
cause premature wearing of the clear, protective coating.

CLEANING SEATS EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIR BAGS

Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. In order to remove
stains and soil, clean with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner
(E8AZ-19523–AA).

Never saturate the seat covers with any cleaning solution.

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the seat where the side air bag is mounted. Such products could

contaminate the side air bag system and affect performance of the side
air bag in a collision. The air bag may not function correctly and not
provide injury reduction benefits.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE SAFETY BELTS

Clean the safety belts with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner
(E8AZ-19523–AA), available from your authorized Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury dealer.

Do not use bleach, dye or any other solvent to clean the belts, as
these actions may weaken the belt webbing.

UNDERBODY

Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
