Cleaning The Instrument Panel - Ford 2000 Crown Victoria Owner's Manual

Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.

Cleaning the instrument panel

Clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
Avoid cleaner or polish that increases the gloss of the upper portion of
the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the driver
from undesirable windshield reflection.
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of
the air bag system.
