FORD 2002 F-150 v.3 - Manual (Page 242)

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS
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.
• 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 painted surfaces.
WOOD-TONE TRIM
• Clean the area with a damp cloth, then dry by wiping with a dry, soft,
clean cloth.
• Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish.
INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and safety belts:
• Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner
(E8AZ-19523–AA).
• If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Spot and Stain Remover (ZC-14).
• 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 retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED, EXCEPT FOR THE KING RANCH
SUPERCREW)
Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the
leather.
For King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew leather seats, refer to separate
