• 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. In
Canada, use Motorcraft® Vinyl Cleaner.
Dry the area with a soft cloth.
• If the leather cannot be completely
cleaned using a mild soap and water
solution, the leather may be cleaned
using a commercially available leather
cleaning product designed for
automotive interiors.
• To check for compatibility, first test any
cleaner or stain remover on an
inconspicuous part of the leather.
• Do not use household cleaning
products, alcohol solutions, solvents
or cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl
and plastics, or oil/petroleum-based
leather conditioners. These products
may cause premature wearing or
damage to the leather.
CLEANING THE ALLOY
WHEELS (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal
cleaner or polish on wheels and wheel
covers.
Aluminum wheels and wheel covers are
coated with a clear coat paint finish. In
order to maintain their shine:
• Clean weekly with Motorcraft® Wheel
and Tire Cleaner. Heavy dirt and brake
dust accumulation may require
agitation with a sponge. Rinse
thoroughly with a strong stream of
water.
• Never apply any cleaning chemical to
hot or warm wheel rims or covers.
• Some automatic car washes may
cause damage to the finish on your
wheel rims or covers.
Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in
combination with brush agitation to
remove brake dust and dirt, could wear
away the clear coat finish over time.
• Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or
high caustic-based wheel cleaners,
steel wool, fuels or strong household
detergent.
• To remove tar and grease, use
Motorcraft® Bug and Tar Remover.
VEHICLE STORAGE

read the following maintenance
recommendations to make sure your
vehicle stays in good operating condition.
All motor vehicles and their components
were engineered and tested for reliable,
regular driving. Long term storage under
various conditions may lead to component
degradation or failure unless specific

components.
General
• Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
