Tips for Controlling the Temperature in
Your Vehicle
*
[CF05900(ALL)01/96]
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.
*
[CF06000(ALL)01/96]
q
If you drive with the fan off and the
windows closed, the windows may fog up.
To prevent fogging:
[CF06100(ALL)01/96]
1. Set the function selector lever to theV
(defrost) position.
*
[CF06200(ALL)01/96]
2. Set the desired temperature.
*
[CF06300(ALL)04/96]
3. Set the
H(fan speed) to the desired
position.
[CF06350(ALL)04/96]
4. Always use theN(fresh air) position on
the air door control lever.
*
[CF06400(ALL)01/96]
q
Do not put objects under the front seats that
will interfere with the flow of air to the back
seats.
*
[CF06500(ALL)01/96]
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.

Tips for better fuel economy
[CF09100(ALL)01/96]
On mild days, ventilate with outside air. You
will get better fuel economy without using the
air conditioning.
[CF09200(ALL)01/96]
On hot days, close the air doorMwhen using
the air conditioner. The air conditioner works
harder to cool outside air than recirculated air.
[CF13100(ALL)04/96]
Air conditioning operation
[CF13250(ALL)01/96]
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.
*
[CF13600(ALL)01/96]
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.
*
[CF13700(ALL)01/96]
On some vehicles with air conditioning,
wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily
cut off the air conditioning.
*
[CF13800(ALL)01/96]
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.

Engine Idle Speed Control System
*
[CF13875(ALL)01/96]
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.
[CF13885(ALL)01/96]
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
*
[CF14250(ALL)03/96]
The defroster for the rear window clears frost,
fog, or thin ice from both the inside and outside

[CF14700(ALL)01/96]
To operate the defroster, push theV(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.

The driving modes required to reach the ready
condition consist of a minimum of 30 minutes of
city and highway driving as described below:
*
[MC48960(ALL)03/96]
q
20 minutes of driving in stop and go
city-type traffic with at least four idle periods.
*
[MC48970(ALL)03/96]
q
10 minutes of driving on an expressway or
highway.
*
[MC48980(ALL)05/96]
Before completing the above driving modes, the
engine must be warmed up and at operating
temperature. Once started, the vehicle must not
be turned off during the above driving modes. If
the vehicle owner is unable to meet the I/M
requirements by using these driving patterns, an
authorized service center can perform a detailed
OBD II drive cycle as it would any other type of
repair work.
