Tips for Controlling the Temperature in
Your Vehicle
❑
To vary the temperature inside your vehicle,
move the temperature selector toward the red
area for warmer air and toward the blue area
for cooler air.
❑
If you drive with the fan off and the
windows closed, the windows may fog up.
To prevent fogging:
1.
Set the function selector lever to the
V
(defrost) position.
2.
Set the desired temperature.
3.
Set the
H
(fan speed) to the desired
position.
4.
Always use the
N
(fresh air) position on
the air door control lever.
❑
Do not put objects under the front seats that
will interfere with the flow of air to the back
seats.
❑
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the
area below the windshield on the outside of
your vehicle. They could block the air intake.
Air Conditioning System (If equipped)
Air distribution is controlled the same way as in
the heater system described above.
The air conditioner switch is located on the
climate control panel. To turn on the air
conditioner, push the A/C button. An indicator
light will come on. To turn off the air
conditioner, push the button again. The fan must
also be on for the A/C to operate.

Air conditioning system control panel
To get maximum cooling from the air
conditioner:
1.
Move the function selector lever to the
Q
(panel) position.
2.
Set the temperature control lever all the way
to the blue area.
3.
Close the air door by moving the air door
control lever to the
M
(recirculate)
position.
4.
Push the A/C button.
5.
Set the
H
(fan speed) on its highest setting.
When maximum air conditioning is not needed,
using outside air instead of recirculated air can
be quieter, but it is less efficient. To cool your
vehicle with outside air:
1.
Move the function selector lever to the
Q
(panel) position.
2.
Set the temperature control lever all the way
in the blue area.
3.
Set the air door control lever to the
N
(fresh air) position.
4.
Push the A/C button.
5.
Set the
H
(fan speed) as desired.

Defrosting the windshield
You can clear a fogged windshield more quickly
by pushing the A/C button to the ON position
after completing steps 1 through 3 of the
Defrosting the Windshield and Side Windows
. After
the windshield is clear, push the A/C button off.
Tips for better fuel economy
On mild days, ventilate with outside air. You
will get better fuel economy without using the
air conditioning.
On hot days, close the air door
M
when using
the air conditioner. The air conditioner works
harder to cool outside air than recirculated air.
Air conditioning operation
If your vehicle has been parked with the
windows closed during hot weather, drive for a
few minutes with the windows open and the air
conditioner on. This forces most of the warm air
out of the vehicle.
Sometimes you may notice slight engine surging
if you have the air conditioner on. This is
normal, as the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to maintain desired
cooling. The reduced compressor operation
should benefit fuel economy.
On some vehicles with air conditioning,
wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily
cut off the air conditioning.
Since the air conditioner removes a lot of
moisture from the air during operation, it is
normal for water to drip on the pavement under
the air conditioner drain after you have stopped
the vehicle.
40
Engine Idle Speed Control System
Genuine Ford air conditioning (either
factory-installed or dealer-installed) has an
engine idle speed control system that
compensates for engine speed loss that may
occur when the air conditioning compressor is
running. This idle speed control holds the engine
idle essentially constant, regardless of whether
the air conditioning system is on or off.
If an aftermarket air conditioner is installed, an
engine idle speed control system must be
installed. Otherwise, the engine may not operate
satisfactorily at idle speed and low engine speed,
or the engine may stall.
Rear Window Defroster (If equipped)
Rear window defroster switch
The defroster for the rear window clears frost,
fog, or thin ice from both the inside and outside
of the rear window.
To operate the defroster, push the
V
(defroster)
switch on the instrument panel to the right of
the steering wheel. The indicator light on the
instrument cluster comes on. When the window
is clear, push the defroster switch again to turn
it off.
