Ford Fusion: Vehicle Care / 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.
Note: Follow the same procedure as 
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather 
instrument panels and leather interior trim 
surfaces.
Clean the instrument panel and cluster 
lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth, 
then use a clean, dry and soft 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.
 
	- Do not use any household cleaning 
	products or glass cleaners as these 
	may damage the finish of the 
	instrument panel, interior trim and 
	cluster lens.
 
	- Wash or wipe your hands clean if you 
	have been in contact with certain 
	products such as insect repellent and 
	suntan lotion to avoid possible damage 
	to the interior painted surfaces.
 
	- Do not allow air fresheners and hand 
	sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces. 
	If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately. 
	Your warranty may not cover these 
	damages.
 
If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has 
been spilled on the instrument panel or on 
interior trim surfaces:
	- Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, 
	soft cloth as quickly as possible.
 
	- Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and 
	Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially 
	available leather cleaning product for 
	automotive interiors. Test any cleaner 
	or stain remover on an inconspicuous 
	area.
 
	- Alternatively, wipe the surface with a 
	clean, soft cloth and a mild soap and 
	water solution. Dry the area with a 
	clean, soft cloth.
 
	- If necessary, apply more soap and 
	water solution or cleaning product to 
	a clean, soft cloth and press it onto the 
	soiled area. Allow this to set at room 
	temperature for 30 minutes.
 
	- Remove the soaked cloth, then with a 
	clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing 
	motion for 60 seconds on the soiled 
	area.
 
	- Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
