•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows open for
approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the
vehicle has “aired out.”
• The A/C system is used to cool both the interior of the vehicle and the
high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, interior cooling may
be temporarily reduced if the high voltage battery requires cooling.
Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to allow automatic
battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
• Interior heating is done by an electrical heater. Set the fan at a lower
speed to get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
Maximum Cooling Performance
1. Press MAX A/C. The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting. LO appears in the display.
2. A/C,
andwill be selected.

Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Press the brake pedal and power button while the vehicle is charging
to switch the climate control system on. This is beneficial because it
draws as much power as possible from the wall charge and not the
high voltage battery.
• Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. See Convenience charging with MyFord mobile in the
Charging Your High Voltage Battery chapter.
• Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
• Consider opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air circulate, if
weather conditions permit. Maximum energy savings can be achieved
by switching the climate system off. Do this only if conditions exist
for safe vehicle operation.
• Reduce fan speed.
• Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
• Switch the air conditioning system off in mild temperatures or low
humidity conditions.
• Defrost mode automatically turns the air conditioning on to
dehumidify the air, and cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a non-defrost mode and disengage
air conditioning to extend vehicle range.
• Air conditioning and heating functions are automatically switched off
(unless in defrost mode) when driving distance to empty is zero miles
(zero km). The interior fan continues to operate, however.
Touchscreen Features
Your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen system. You can access
climate features using the touchscreen and voice commands. Refer to
Touchscreen climate controls in theMyFord Touch chapter for more
information.

and works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
Press
Rto turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on the
control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns off
automatically after a predetermined amount of time, if a low battery
condition is detected or when the ignition is turned off or to the
accessory position. To manually turn off the rear window defroster at any
time, press the control again.

of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside or the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: A cabin air filter must be installed at all times to prevent foreign
objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
Your cabin air filter is located in the passenger foot well area. The cabin
air filter element 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 presence of a particulate filter element
provides the following benefits:
• Improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
• Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
• Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
For replacement intervals regarding the cabin air filter, see the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter. For more information regarding your
filter, see your authorized dealer.
