Manual override buttons
[IP07325(ALL)04/95]
Your EATC has six buttons which allow you to
make special selections. The buttons are located
along the bottom edge of the EATC and allow
you to determine where the air will be
discharged. Pressing any override button
changes the air discharge location only. It does
not affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or the fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTO
button.

[IP07425(ALL)01/95]
MAX A/C button
[IP07525(ALL)04/95]
The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling
because air is drawn from inside the vehicle.
Using inside air causes the fan to sound louder
which is normal for this selection. The display
window will change to indicate MAX A/C and
the airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers. To exit, push AUTO or any of the
other five manual override buttons.

VENT button
[IP07725(ALL)03/95]
Press this button to select outside air through
the instrument panel registers. The display
window will show the set temperature and
VENT to the lower right of the temperature.
Your EATC will heat the air if the temperature
you have selected is warmer than the outside air
coming into the vehicle. However, the air will
NOT be cooled regardless of the temperature
setting. Airflow will be from the instrument
panel registers.

Add engine coolant only to the coolant
reservoir.If the coolant level is low, add to the
reservoir a 50/50 mixture of water and the type
of engine coolant that Ford specifies. You may
add water by itself only in an emergency, but
you should replace it with a 50/50 mixture as
soon as possible.

Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid is an
optimized formula that will protect all metal and
rubber elastomers used in Ford engines for four
years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km). It is not
necessary and not recommended to use
supplemental coolant additives in your vehicle.
These additives may harm your engine cooling
system. Follow the recommended service interval
for changing your engine coolant.
*
[SV19106(ALL)04/94]
NOTE: When you change or add engine
coolant, it is important to maintain
your engine coolant concentration
between 40%(-11ÊF [-24ÊC]) and 60%
(-62ÊF [-52ÊC]),depending on your local
climate conditions. Below 40% you will
lose freeze protection and above 60%
your engine may overheat on a warm
