TEMPERATURE SENSOR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
temperature sensor grid. This sensor
works together with the Automatic
Temperature Control system (if
equipped) to help ensure the cabin
remains at the desired temperature.
Do not place items over the
temperature sensor grid. This may
cause improper operation of the system.

The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to defrost your rear windshield from fog and ice. It also operates
the heated mirror (if equipped) to remove snow and ice from the side
mirrors. When pressing the defrost control, a light will illuminate. This
light will not go out until another mode is selected.
Ensure that the ignition is ON position. Press to turn the defroster
ON/OFF. The indicator light will illuminate when ON.
The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the defroster
before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Cabin air filter. The cabin air filter
restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen particles. The filter is
located just in front of the windshield under the cowl vent screen on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.
