INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
airbags:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•
Remove light stains and soil with Motorcraft
威
Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner (ZC-54).
•
If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Motorcraft
威
Spot and Stain Remover (ZC-14). In Canada, use
Motorcraft
威
Multi-Purpose Cleaner (CXC-101).
•
If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set.
•
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.
WARNING:
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the
vehicle’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt webbing.
WARNING:
On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do
not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products
could contaminate the side-airbag system and affect performance of
the side airbag in a collision.
LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•
Clean spills and stains as quickly as possible.
•
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. In Canada, use Motorcraft
威
Vinyl Cleaner (CXC-93). Dry the
area with a soft cloth.
•
If the leather cannot be completely cleaned using a mild soap and
water solution, the leather may be cleaned using a commercially
available leather cleaning product designed for automotive interiors.
•
To check for compatibility, first test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous part of the leather.
•
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 or
damage to the leather.
