CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.

Avoid cleaners or polish 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.

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of

the air bag system.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LENS

Wipe the cluster area with a soft, damp cotton towel. Dry the area with a
clean, dry towel.

CLEANING WOOD-TONE TRIM

Wipe stains with a clean, soft cloth and Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner
(E4AZ-19C507–AA). Dry the area by wiping with a dry, soft, clean cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR FABRIC, CARPETS AND CLOTH SEATS

Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Remove light stains
and soil with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner (E8AZ-19523–AA).

Never saturate the seat covers with cleaning solution.

Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which
can stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardent
abilities of the seat materials.

If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with
Spot and Stain Remover (F3AZ-19521–WA). Follow up by recleaning the
area with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner (E8AZ-19523–AA).

CLEANING LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED, EXCEPT FOR THE
KING RANCH SUPERCREW)

All Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with leather seating surfaces have
a clear, protective coating over the leather.

The King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew leather seats do not have this
same clear, protective coating and special care is required to
maintain the leather’s quality. Please refer to

Cleaning leather seats

for the King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew only (if equipped) located in this
section for details and instructions.
