SUPERCREW ONLY (IF EQUIPPED)
Your King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew is equipped with seating covered in
premium, top-grain leather which is extremely durable, but still requires
special care and maintenance in order to ensure longevity and comfort.
As with all premium leather products such as saddles, color variations
and scratches will develop in the course of normal wear and will add
character and distinctiveness to the leather over time.
Regular cleaning and conditioning will maintain the appearance of the
leather. Failure to care for the leather can result in drying out and fading
of the material.
CLEANING
Surface dirt and dust can be abrasive and may scratch the leather if not
regularly cleaned. In order to remove dirt and dust from the leather
surface, use a vacuum cleaner. If dirt remains, use a clean, damp cloth or
soft brush.
For spills: first use a dry cloth in order to absorb as much of the liquid
as possible. Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth. Allow the area to dry,
then apply King Ranch F-150 Leather Conditioner as directed in the
Conditioningsection.To reduce the likelihood of staining, clean
spills as quickly as possible.
For stains: use Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner (F2AZ-19521±AA) and
a dry, soft cloth. The Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner Kit
(F8AZ-19G253±AA) is also available, and includes a sponge that will not
damage the leather surface.Be sure to first test any stain remover

on an inconspicuous part of the leather as cleaners may darken
the leather. Certain stains, such as coffee, ketchup, mustard,
orange juice and oil-based products are especially difficult to
remove, even after treatment with cleaners and conditioners. If
your leather stains, it will stay in the leather for life.
Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions,
solvents or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl or plastics.
CONDITIONING
Conditioning is a vital step in maintaining the leather interior over time.
Condition the leather twice yearly in order to replenish lost oils and
revitalize the aroma, suppleness and resilience.
Apply your first conditioning treatment within six months of taking
delivery of your King Ranch F-150 SuperCrew. Conditioning every six
months thereafter will lessen the effects of drying out and fading.
In order to condition the leather seats, first clean the surfaces using the
steps outlined in theCleaningsection. After you have allowed the leather
to dry completely and return to its original color, shake the bottle of King
Ranch F-150 Leather Conditioner thoroughly and apply a nickel-sized
amount to a clean, dry cloth. Rub the conditioner into leather until it
disappears. Allow the conditioner to dry and repeat the process for the
entire interior. If a film appears, wipe off film with a dry, clean cloth.
SCRATCHES
In order to lessen the appearance of certain scratches and other wear
marks, apply King Ranch F-150 Leather Conditioner on the affected area
following the same instructions as in theConditioningsection.
Additional bottles of King Ranch F-150 Leather Conditioner are available
at the King Ranch Saddle Shop. Visit the Web site at
www.krsaddleshop.com, or telephone (in the United States)
