REPAIRING SCRATCHES
The specific process that is used to remove minor
scratches should be performed by an authorized
Dealer.
CLEANING WHEELS
Wash with the same detergent used to wash the
body of the vehicle. Do not use acid-based or
alcohol-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuel or
strong detergents. Never use abrasives that will
damage the finish of special wheel surfaces. Use a
tar remover to remove grease and tar.
CLEANING EXTERIOR LAMPS
Wash with the same detergent used to wash the
vehicle exterior. If necessary, use a tar remover,
such as Ford Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Remover (B7A-19520–AA).
To avoid scratching the lamps, do not use a dry
paper towel, chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then
dry it with a dry cloth.
CLEANING THE GAUGE ASSEMBLY
Clean the gauge assembly with a damp cloth, then
dry it with a dry cloth.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE SAFETY
BELTS
Clean the safety belts with a mild soap solution of
the type recommended for cleaning upholstery or
carpets.
Do not use bleach, dye or any other solvent to
clean the belts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.
Check the safety belt system periodically to make
sure there are no nicks, tears, or cuts. If the vehicle
has been involved in an accident, refer to the
Seating and safety restraints chapter.
