2021 FORD F-150 instrument cluster

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL
WARNING: Do not use chemical
solvents or strong detergents when
cleaning the steering wheel or
instrument panel to avoid contamination
of the airbag system.
We recommend that you only clean the
instrument panel and cluster lens with a
damp soft cloth. Dry the area with a clean,
soft cloth.
For additional information and assistance,
we recommend that you contact an
authorized dealer.
Note: 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.
CLEANING PLASTIC
We recommend that you only use a mild
soap and water solution on a soft cloth.
Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING DISPLAYS AND
SCREENS
We recommend that you only use a
microfiber cloth in a circular motion to
clean off the fingerprint or dust.
If dirt or fingerprints are still on the screen,
apply a small amount of alcohol to the
cloth and try to clean it again.
Note: Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the
touchscreen.
Note: Do not use detergent or any type of
solvent to clean the touchscreen. CLEANING SEATS AND THE
HEADLINER WARNING:
On vehicles equipped
with seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents.
Such products could contaminate the
side airbag system and affect
performance of the side airbag in a crash.
Cleaning Fabric Seats and the
Headliner
We recommend that you only clean the
fabric seats and headliners in the following
way:
1. Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and water
solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft
cloth.
3. For additional information and assistance, we recommend that you
contact an authorized dealer.
For heavy stains, spot clean the area. If a
ring forms on the fabric, immediately clean
the entire area, but do not oversaturate or
the ring could set.
Cleaning Vinyl and Leather
We recommend that you only clean the
leather and vinyl surfaces in the following
way:
1. Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and water
solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft
cloth.
3. For additional information and assistance, we recommend that you
contact an authorized dealer.
