CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the
brake heavily. Instead, gradually decrease your
speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly
move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Temporary spare tire information
Your vehicle may have a temporary spare tire. The
temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as
such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed
for emergency use only. Replace this tire with a
full-size tire as soon as possible.
Roadside Emergencies
170

Do not use chemical solvents or strong
detergents when cleaning the steering wheel
or instrument panel to avoid contamination of the
air bag system.
Cleaning the instrument cluster lens
Wipe the cluster area with a soft, damp cotton towel.
Dry the area with a clean, dry towel.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR FABRIC, CARPETS
AND CLOTH SEATS
Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Remove light stains and soil with Extra Strength
Upholstery Cleaner (E8AZ-19523±AA).
Never saturate the seat covers with cleaning
solution.
Do not use household cleaning products or
glass cleaners, which can stain and discolor the
fabric and affect the flame retardent abilities
of the seat materials.
If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean
the area first with Spot and Stain Remover
(F3AZ-19521±WA). Follow up by recleaning the area
with Extra Strength Upholstery Cleaner
(E8AZ-19523±AA).
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
All Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with leather
seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over
the leather.
To clean the leather seats, simply use a soft cloth
with Deluxe Leather and Vinyl Cleaner
(F2AZ-19521±WA). Dry the area with a soft cloth.
It is recommended that you use the Deluxe Leather
Care Kit (F8AZ-19G253±AA), available from your
authorized Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealer. The
mild cleaner and special pad available in the kit
cleans the leather and maintains its natural beauty.
