belt LINCOLN BLACKWOOD 2002 Owner's Guide

If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with
Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil Removal (B7A-19520±AA). Follow up
by recleaning the area with Triple Clean (EOAZ-19526±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 dampened with a
solution of water and Triple Clean (EOAZ-19526±AA). Wipe the leather
again with a damp cloth in order to remove any cleaning solution
residue. 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. For best results,
follow the instructions printed on the cleaner label. Regular cleaning of
your leather upholstery helps maintain its resiliency and color.
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 of the clear, protective coating. Use
only Triple Clean (EOAZ-19526±AA).
Cleaning and maintaining the safety belts
Clean the safety belts with Triple Clean (E4AZ-19C507±AA), available
from your authorized Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealer.
Do not use bleach, dye or any other solvent to clean the belts, as
these actions may weaken the belt webbing.
