Note:
Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
interior trim surfaces.
For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with
a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and
water solution. Dry the area with a clean,
soft cloth.
For cleaning and removing stains such as
dye transfer, use Motorcraft™ Premium
Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a
commercially available leather cleaning
product for automotive interiors.
Note:
Test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous area.
You should:
•
Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
•
Clean and treat spills and stains as
soon as possible.
Do not use the following products as these
may damage the leather:
•
Oil and petroleum or silicone-based
leather conditioners.
•
Household cleaners.
•
Alcohol solutions.
•
Solvents or cleaners intended
specifically for rubber, vinyl and
plastics.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
See your authorized dealer to obtain
touch-up paint for the exterior color of your
vehicle. The color code is included on the
Safety Compliance Certification label on
the driver's door-latch post. Follow the
instructions on the paint bottle.
CLEANING THE WHEELS
This information applies to alloy and
carbon fiber wheels.
Note:
Do not apply a cleaning chemical to
warm or hot wheels.
Note:
Do not drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash.
Automated car washes can damage your
vehicle.
Note:
Do not use industrial-strength or
heavy-duty cleaners in combination with
brush agitation to remove brake dust and
dirt.
Note:
Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based
or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel
wool, fuels or strong household detergents.
Note:
Do not spray wheel cleaning products
on any part of the braking system. Use a
mild soap and water solution only.
Alloy and carbon fiber wheels are coated
with a paint finish. To maintain their
condition we recommend that you:
•
Clean the wheels weekly using
Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner or
a gentle soap solution. Apply to the
wheel only using manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Use a soft sponge to remove deposits
of dirt and brake dust accumulation.
•
Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream
of water when you have completed the
cleaning process.
•
To remove tar and grease, use
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
