Cleaning - Ford Ikon 2007 Owner's Manual

WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
The best procedure is brushless
washing in a good car wash
installation.
In installations operating
with high water pressure,
water might be forced into
the vehicle's interior or parts may
get damaged.
Unscrew and remove the
radio aerial before entering
an automatic car wash.
Switch off the heater blower to
prevent contamination of the fresh
air filter.
If a waxing cycle is selected,
please ensure that the wax is
removed from the front screen
afterwards.
General vehicle care
When an engine is washed, fuel,
grease and oil residues are
washed off.
Use only car washing areas
that have ecologically harmless
drainage systems.
Cleaning the headlights
To avoid damaging the clear
plastic headlight lens do not use
aggressive abrasives or chemical
solvents. Do not wipe the lights
when they are dry or use sharp
objects to clean the lenses.
Cleaning the rear screen
To avoid damaging the heating
elements when cleaning the inside
of the rear screen use only a soft
cloth or a damp chamois leather.
Do not use solvent or sharp
objects to clean the glass.
Cleaning seat belts
Use interior cleaner or clean warm
water. Dry naturally, keep away
from artificial heat.
Do not use chemical cleaners,
boiling water, bleach or dye. Do
not allow moisture to penetrate the
seat belt retractor mechanism.
Flammable substances such
as dry cleaning fluid, mineral
turpentine, methylated
spirits, dye stripper, etc., should
be used in ventilated area. Ensure
that no flame or lighted cigarette is
nearby.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or
cleaners containing solvent other
than those mentioned or steel or
copper wool. These can
permanently damage the surface
of your material and spoil its
appearance.
