Cleaning the interior of the Ford Mustang requires special care with materials such as fabric, leather or microfiber. This chapter describes how to gently clean seats, carpets and displays. Important warnings about unsuitable cleaning agents help prevent damage. The chapter is supplemented by instructions for seat belts, displays and sensitive surfaces. For owners who value a well-kept interior, it offers clear and practical recommendations.

Note: Never apply air fresheners or hand sanitizer to interior surfaces. Wipe up spills or leaks immediately. Damage may not be covered by the warranty.

Note: Do not use commercial cleaners or glass cleaners. They can cause stains or discoloration of the fabric and reduce the flame-retardant properties of the seat materials.

Note: We recommend using distilled water for cleaning.

Fabric, carpets, cloth upholstery, headliner and floor mats

Note: Avoid saturating leather surfaces.

Note: To avoid stains or discoloration, clean the entire surface.

Cleaning:

  • Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
  • Wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
  • If a ring remains on the fabric after stain removal, clean the entire area immediately, but do not saturate it, as otherwise the ring will set.

Seat Belts

WARNINGS

Do not treat the vehicle's seat belts with cleaners, bleaches or dyes, as this can weaken the belt webbing.

On vehicles with seat-integrated airbags, do not use chemical solvents or strong cleaners. Such products could contaminate the side airbag system and impair its performance in a collision.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents for cleaning.

Note: Make sure no moisture gets into the seat belt retractor mechanism.

A mild soap and water solution is safe for cleaning. Let it air dry without exposure to artificial heat sources.

Leather Interior

When cleaning leather-wrapped instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces, follow the same procedure as for cleaning leather seats.

Velour Microfiber Fabric

Note: Do not clean with steam.

Note: To avoid stains or discoloration, clean the entire surface.

Do not use the following products:

  • Leather care products.
  • Household cleaners.
  • Alcohol solutions.
  • Stain removers.
  • Shoe polish.

Cleaning:

  • Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
  • Wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
  • If a ring remains on the fabric after stain removal, clean the entire area immediately, but do not saturate it, as otherwise the ring will set.

Instrument Cluster Lens, LCD Display and Radio Display

Note: Do not use abrasive, alcohol-based or chemical solvents to clean the instrument cluster lens or the LCD and radio displays. These cleaning products can damage the glass or

the displays.

Clean the instrument cluster lens with a clean, damp, soft cloth, then dry it with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

Rear Window

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the inside of the rear windows.

Note: Do not stick stickers to the inside of the rear windows.

Storage Compartments, Cup Holders

Cleaning:

  • Remove any loose inserts.
  • Wipe the surface clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
