the fan to highest blower setting.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•With the ignition in the OFF position after operating the vehicle, some
vehicle sounds related to the climate control system may be heard.
•Approximately two minutes after key off, the air distribution doors
may adjust their positions as part of the normal operating process.
•Demisters, located at the far left and right sides of the dash, usually

dash, blow out a small amount of airflow when in
(floor),
(floor/defrost), and(defrost) modes. This also reduces side
window fogging.
•Do not place items over the
climate temperature sensor grid.
This may cause improper
operation of the system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Ensure that recirculation is disengaged.

•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 authorized Ford

impair proper mirror performance. (Examples: no parking stickers or
hanging tags.)
Ensure the mirror is pulled down low enough to prevent visibility
interference with the overhead console. The mirror support arm has two
pivot points which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from
