2000 LINCOLN LS display

(floor/defrost) Ð Distributes air through the windshield defroster
ducts, the demister outlets and the front and rear seat floor ducts. The
system will allow some airflow out the outer instrument panel registers.
If the temperature is about 2ÉC (35ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will
automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging when manually
selected. For added customer comfort, the air distributed through the
floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield
defroster ducts.
(defrost) Ð Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the
outer instrument panel registers. If the outside air temperature is about
2ÉC (35ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify
the air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not
illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override
controls cannot be selected.
²Turn DATC off
OFF-Outside air is shut out. The fan, heating and air conditioning will
not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected
with the ignition in the RUN position.
Electric window heaters
(heated wiper rest) Ð Located at the base of the windshield, this
feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front
defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When
activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the
chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.
With the ignition in RUN and the engine running, the feature will be
automatically enabled if the temperature is below 5ÉC (40ÉF). The
feature can be manually selected or deselected at any time.
In cold, dry conditions where wet snow or ice is not present it is
acceptable to manually deselect the operation of this feature.
The feature will run continuously unless a low battery condition is
detected, or unless the feature is manually deselected, and will only
activate when the vehicle engine is running (to prevent excessive drain
of the vehicle battery).

Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT to display the outside air temperature. It will remain selected
until the EXT control is pressed again.
If the driver or passenger temperature or the fan speed is changed, or
the AUTO or
(defrost) modes selected while the outside
temperature is displayed, the driver and passenger temperature display
will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature
display will return to the window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the DATC system is in the
OFF mode and the DATC is turned on, the driver and passenger
temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside
temperature display will return to the window.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, select(defrost) andR(rear window
defrost) before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield.
After a few minutes, select any desired position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or
damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
