To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
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.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the clear state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from behind, it will
automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare at night only.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
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
SIDE to SIDE.

Without Navigation System
With Navigation System
The mirror will automatically return to the clear state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on).
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. The compass is continuously re-calibrating due to changing
magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle magnetics which can
occur over the life of the vehicle. If heading appears inaccurate
re-calibrate mirror, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels of
magnetic interference are experienced (such as steel bridges). The
compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized
area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to “C”. If a “C” is
displayed, remove the source of magnetic interference and re-calibrate
compass, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. A correct zone
setting will eliminate this error. You MUST set the mirror to the proper
zone to get an accurate compass reading, refer toCompass zone
adjustment.
