surfaces.

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

Household cleaners.

•
Solvents or cleaners intended specifically
for rubber, vinyl and plastics.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
Authorized dealers have touch-up paint to
match your vehicle’s color. Your vehicle color
code is printed on a sticker on the front,
left-hand side door jamb. Take your color
code to your authorized dealer to make sure
you get the correct color.
Before repairing minor paint damage, use a
cleaner such as Motorcraft Bug and Tar
Remover to remove particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout.
Always read the instructions before using
cleaning products.
