recirculation controls. In manual override control, press(panel),
A/C, recirculation controls, set the temperature to 60 °F (16 °C) and
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
blow out a small amount of airflow in order to reduce side window
fogging.
•Outboard panel registers, located at the left and right sides of the
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.
3. Set the temperature control to full heat.
4. Set the fan to the highest speed.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.

objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
REAR WINDOW 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
order to operate the rear window defroster.
The rear window defroster turns off automatically after a predetermined
amount of time, if a low battery condition is detected, or if the ignition is
turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the rear window
defroster at any time, press 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.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. The particulate air
filtration 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 authorized Ford
or Lincoln Mercury dealer.

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.
