4. Remove the soaked cloth and if it is not
soiled badly, use this cloth to clean the
area by using a rubbing motion for 60
seconds.
5. Following this, wipe area dry with a
clean, white, cotton cloth.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
(IF
EQUIPPED)
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. Dry the area with a soft
cloth. In Canada, use Motorcraft® Vinyl
Cleaner.
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.
Note: To check for compatibility, first test
any cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.
You should:
• remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• clean spills and stains as quickly as
possible.
• To check for compatibility, first test any
cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.
Do not use the following products as these
may damage the leather:
• oil/petroleum-based leather
conditioners.
• household cleaners.
• alcohol solutions.
• solvents or cleaners intended for
rubber, vinyl and plastics.
CLEANING THE ALLOY
WHEELS
Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to
warm or hot wheel rims and covers.
Note: Some automatic car washes may
cause damage to the finish on your wheel
rims and covers.
Note: Industrial-strength or heavy-duty
cleaners in combination with brush agitation
to remove brake dust and dirt, could wear
away the clear coat finish over a period time.
Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based
or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel
wool, fuels or strong household detergents.
Note: If you intend parking your vehicle for
an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so.
This will reduce the risk of increased
corrosion of the brake discs.
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated
with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain
their condition we recommend that you:
• Clean the wheels weekly, with the
recommended Ford service wheel and
tire cleaner. Apply using
manufacturer's instructions. Use
Motorcraft® Wheel and Tire Cleaner
(ZC-37-A).
• Use a sponge to remove heavy
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
(ZC-42).
