2003 LINCOLN LS air conditioning

DUAL ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(DEATC) SYSTEM
1.A/C control:Press to turn on
and manually control the air
conditioning. Press again to
disengage. Press AUTO for the system to automatically control the
temperature.
2.Recirculation control:Press to
engage/disengage. Used to manually
enable or disable recirculated air
operation. When activated, recirculates air in the cabin thereby reducing
the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle. May also
help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.
Will work in all modes except defrost. Recirculation turns off
automatically when floor, floor/defrost or defrost mode is selected. To
reduce humidity inside the vehicle, turn recirculation off.
3.Passenger side temperature
control:Press to engage the dual
zone feature of the DEATC system.
Allows the passenger to choose and
control a different temperature than the driver, if desired.
4.Rear defrost:Press to defrost
the rear window. Refer toRear
Window Defrostfor more
information.

4.Passenger heated seat:Press to turn on the passenger side heated
seat. Press once for full heat (three lights above passenger heated seat
control will be illuminated). Press a second time to select medium heat
(two lights). Press a third time to select low heat (one light). Press a
fourth time to disengage the feature (all lights will be off).

R(Rear defrost): Press to defrost the rear window. Refer toRear
Window Defrostfor more information.
6.Passenger cooled seat:Press to turn on the passenger side cooled
seat. Press once for full cool (three lights above passenger cooled seat
control will be illuminated). Press a second time to select medium cool
(two lights). Press a third time to select low cool (one light). Press a
fourth time to disengage the feature (all lights will be off).
Automatic heated/cooled passenger seat:To engage, press the
passenger side heat and cool seat controls simultaneously. The center
light above the passenger side heated and cooled controls will illuminate
and the display will show
. This allows the seat to automatically heat
or cool based on the climate control temperature selected. Press either
control to disengage.
7.
(Defrost): Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. Can be used to clear ice or fog
from the windshield. The system will automatically provide outside air to
reduce window fogging.

strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach
-23°C (-10°F) or below. For best results, plug the heater in at least
three hours before starting the vehicle. The heater can be plugged in the
night before starting the vehicle.
To prevent electrical shock, do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding
or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out
and should be inspected by a qualified service technician. If the vehicle
has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified service technician.
Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This
system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by
keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the ABS pump motor and
brake pedal pulsation may be observed during ABS braking; any
pulsations or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.
ABS warning lamp
ABS
TheABSlamp in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates when
the ignition is turned to ON. If the light does not illuminate during start
up, remains on or flashes, the ABS may be disabled and may need to be
serviced.

•NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.
•Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
•Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
•Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the
coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate
protection at the temperatures in which you drive.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50
mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system
and engine protection.
What you should know about fail-safe cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The“fail-safe”distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load
and terrain.
How fail-safe cooling works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature
gauge will move to the H (hot)
area.
•The
symbol will
illuminate.
•The
symbol will illuminate.
•The
symbol will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to
increase.
