air may reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of
the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired odors from
reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages

any airflow mode except defrost (button 6). Recirculated air may turn
off automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog
potential.

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.
