Tips for Controlling the Temperature in
Your Vehicle
*
[IP05900(ALL)03/94]
q
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.
*
[IP06000(ALL)03/94]
q
If you drive with the fan off and the
windows closed, the windows may fog up.
To prevent fogging:
[IP06150(ALL)04/95]
1. Set the function selector control to VENT,
MIX, FLOOR or theVposition.
*
[IP06200(ALL)01/89]
2. Set the desired temperature.
*
[IP06300(ALL)01/89]
3. Set the desired fan speed.
*
[IP06400(ALL)12/91]
q
Do not put objects under the front seats that
will interfere with the flow of air to the back
seats.
*
[IP06500(ALL)12/03]
q
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the
area below the windshield on the outside of
your vehicle. They could block the air intake.

[IP06600(ALL)06/93]
Air Conditioning System (If equipped)
[IP06850(ALL)01/95]

[IP06950(ALL)01/95]
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.
*
[IP07000(ALL)01/95]
On some vehicles with air conditioning,
wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily
cut off the air conditioning.
*
[IP07050(ALL)01/95]
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.
[IP07150(ALL)08/91]
Action for heating and windshield defrosting are
identical for cars equipped with either the
Heating Only Systemor theHeating 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.
[IP07350(ALL)01/95]
MAX A/C
[IP07360(ALL)01/95]
When MAX A/C is selected, cooled interior air
is recirculated through the system. This position
is more efficient than NORM A/C.
*
[IP07375(ALL)09/93]
To cool your vehicle quickly in warm weather:
[IP07400(ALL)08/91]
1. Turn the function selector control to MAX
A/C.
[IP07450(ALL)08/91]
2. Turn the temperature control to the blue
(cool) area.
[IP07475(ALL)08/91]
3. Set the fan at the desired speed.
*
[IP07500(ALL)09/93]
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.

Engine Idle Speed Control System
*
[IP13875(ALL)02/91]
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.
[IP13890(ALL)01/95]
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.

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.
