Roadside Emergencies

CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
LENS
WARNING
Do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel
to avoid contamination of the airbag
system.
Clean the instrument panel and
cluster lens with a clean, damp, white
cotton cloth, then use a clean and dry
white cotton cloth to dry these areas.
• Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper
portion of the instrument panel.
The dull finish in this area helps
protect you from undesirable
windshield reflection.
• Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products such
as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible
damage to the interior painted
surfaces.
• Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish of the instrument panel,
interior trim and cluster lens.
• Do not allow air fresheners and hand sanitizers to spill onto interior
surfaces. If a spill occurs, wipe off
immediately. Damage may not be
covered by y our warranty. If a staining liquid like coffee or juice
has been spilled on the instrument
panel or on interior trim surfaces,
clean as follows:
1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a
clean, white, cotton cloth.
2. Wipe the surface with a damp, clean, white cotton cloth. For more
thorough cleaning, use a mild soap
and water solution. If the spot
cannot be completely cleaned by
this method, the area may be
cleaned using a commercially
available cleaning product
designed for automotive interiors.
3. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product
to a clean, white, cotton cloth and
press the cloth onto the soiled
area. Allow this to set at room
temperature for 30 minutes.
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.
