Air Conditioning System (If equipped)
Operate the air conditioning by using the climate
controls on the center of the instrument panel.
Air conditioning controls
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.
Action for heating and windshield defrosting are
identical for cars equipped with either the
Heating Only System
or the
Heating and Air
Conditioning System
. For instructions about these
functions, see the previous section,
Heating Only
System
. For instructions about using the air
conditioning, see the following sections.

If the inside of your vehicle is very warm, drive
for a few minutes with the windows down. This
forces most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle and helps the air conditioning cool the
vehicle faster.
MAX A/C
When MAX A/C is selected, cooled interior air
is recirculated through the system. This position
is more efficient than NORM A/C.
To cool your vehicle quickly in warm weather:
1.
Turn the function selector control to MAX
A/C.
2.
Turn the temperature control to the blue
(cool) area.
3.
Set the fan at the desired speed.
Because MAX A/C uses recirculated air, MAX is
usually more efficient than NORM A/C. You
can switch to outside air NORM A/C at any
time, especially after the vehicle has cooled
down.
You may notice a slight odor when using the
MAX A/C position. This is normal. If the odor
becomes annoying, switch the function selector
to NORM A/C.
To provide the most quiet operation when using
MAX A/C, reduce the fan speed after a
comfortable temperature has been reached.
NORM A/C
When maximum air conditioning is not needed,
you can use the NORM A/C position to cool
your vehicle with outside air. Cooling your
vehicle this way brings in outside air and is
quieter, but it is less efficient.
55
To cool your vehicle using outside air:
1.
Turn the function selector control to NORM
A/C.
2.
Turn the temperature control all the way to
left to the blue (cool) area.
3.
Set the fan at the desired speed.
In mild weather, setting the function selector
control in the VENT position will add cool air to
your vehicle without using the air conditioning.
You will get better fuel economy without using
the air conditioning.
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.
NOTE:
Whenever service to the air
conditioning system is required, make
sure the service facility uses a
refrigerant recycling system. These
systems will capture the refrigerant for
reuse. Releasing certain refrigerants
into the atmosphere is hazardous to the
environment.

Rear Window Defroster (If equipped)
Rear window defroster button
The defroster for the rear window clears frost,
fog, or thin ice from both the inside and outside
of the rear window. The rear window defroster
button is located on the lower right of the
instrument panel below the climate control
panel. This button is also used to activate your
heated power mirrors (if equipped).
To defrost the rear window:
1.
Clear any snow and/or ice from the rear
window.
2.
Get in your vehicle and start the engine.
3.
Press the rear defrost button. The indicator
light turns on.
The defroster turns off automatically after 15 to
25 minutes. If the window is not clear, turn on
the defroster again. It will also automatically
shut off any time the engine is shut off.
NOTE:
Never use sharp instruments or
window cleaners with abrasives to
clean the inside of your rear window.
If you do, you may damage the heating
elements that are bonded to the inside
of the rear window and cause damage
to the rear window defroster.
