FORD 1998 Expedition - Manual (Page 198)

Check the safety belt system
periodically to make sure there are
no nicks, wear or cuts. If your
vehicle has been involved in an
accident, refer to the Safety belt
maintenance section in the
Seating and safety restraints
chapter.
Cleaning leather seats
For routine cleaning, wipe the
surface with a soft, damp cloth.
For more thorough cleaning, wipe
the surface with a leather and
vinyl cleaner or a mild soap.
The type of scrubbing pad is
very critical because the
common 3M “Scotch Brite”
green pad is too aggressive and
will damage the leather surface
• Spray a small amount of the
leather cleaner on the pad and
rub the area to be cleaned with
the pad using a circular motion.
Only clean 1/4 of the area at a
time. For heavily soiled areas,
spray the cleaner directly onto
the leather (two squirts should
be adequate) and rub with the
pad. Repeat if necessary.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to
remove the loosened dirt and
foam.
• Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use household cleaners,
glass cleaner, alcohol solutions
or cleaner intended for vinyl,
rubber or plastics. These
