REARWINDOW DEFROSTER
Press the rear window defroster
control to clear the rear window and
sideview mirrors of thin ice or fog.
The light above the control will
illuminate to indicate that the rear
defrost is operating.
The ignition must be in the RUN position and the engine running in

CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a particulate air filtration system. The
system is designed to reduce the concentration of airborne particles such
as dust, spores and pollen in the air being supplied to the interior of the
vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives the following benefits to
customers:
•Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits
The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl grille
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.

HEADLAMP CONTROL
Turns the lamps off.
Turns on the parking
lamps, instrument panel lamps,
license plate lamps and tail lamps.
Turns the headlamps on.
Note:If the headlamp switch is in the park lamp or lowbeam position,
and it is daytime, the instrument panel lighting will not be activated and
the instrument cluster, radio and climate control displays will not be
dimmed.
Autolamp control
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
•To turn autolamps on, rotate the
control counterclockwise to the
auto position.
•To turn autolamps off, rotate the
control clockwise to the off
position (O).
The autolamp system also keeps the lights on for a period of time after
the ignition switch is turned to OFF. The period of time that the lights
remain on is set at the factory but the time may be adjusted using the
sequence below.
Exit delay programming sequence
1. Start with the ignition in the RUN position and autolamps selected on
the headlight switch.
2. Turn the ignition to the OFF position. (This will start a 10 second
timer during which steps 3 through 6must be completed.)
3. Turn the autolamps OFF.
4. Turn the ignition to the RUN position.

5. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
6. Turn the autolamps on (The park lamps and low beams will turn on.)
7. Turn the autolamps off after the desired delay time is reached. (The
maximum programmable delay is 3 minutes. The lights that turned on in
step 6 will turn off.)
Autolamps with wipers
When the windshield wipers are on with the headlamps, the autolamp
system will provide automatic on/off control of the exterior lights based
on the status of the wipers.
•When the wipers are turned on, the exterior lights will turn on after a
short delay.
•When the wipers are turned off, the exterior lights will turn off after a
short delay.
Note: The moisture sensitive wipers feature may affect the length of the
autolamp time delay.
Foglamp control
The foglamps can be turned on
when the headlamp control is pulled
toward you and is in any of the
following positions:
•Parking lamps
•Low beams
•Autolamps
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the highbeam headlamps on with a reduced output.
To activate with automatic transmission:
•the ignition must be in the RUN position;
•the headlamp control is in the OFF position, Parking lamps position,
or Autolamp position when the autolamp function has not turned on
the headlamps (daytime); and
•the transmission is out of Park.

Alwaysremembertoturn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
High beams
Pull toward you until control stops
to activate. Repeat to deactivate.
Flash to pass
Pull toward you slightly to activate
and release to deactivate.
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel during parklamp,
headlamp and autolamp operation.

HEADLAMP VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is equipped with VOL (Visual Optical Left) headlamps.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet)
from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) VOL - subtract 50 mm (2.1 in) from the measurement of the
center of the low beam lamp to the ground.
•(3) Twenty five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the
center of your headlamp to the
ground and mark a 2.4 meter
(8 foot) horizontal reference line on
the vertical wall or screen 50 mm
(2.1 in) below this height (a piece
of masking tape works well). The
center of the lamp is marked by a
3.0 mm circle on the headlamp lens
(use the low beam center mark).
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) VOL - subtract 50 mm (2.1 in) from the measurement of the
center of the low beam lamp to the ground.
•(3) Twenty five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with flat
edges at the top of the beam
pattern. If the flat edges are not at
the horizontal reference line, the
beam will need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then usea6mm
allen wrench or screwdriver to adjust the headlamp up or down.
6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NON-ADJUSTABLE.

Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe
visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the
lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
