J.Air conditioning:Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes.
Temperature Control
You can set the temperature between 60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C)
in 1°F (0.5°C) increments. In position LO, 59°F (15°C), the system
switches to permanent cooling. In position HI, 86°F (30°C), the system
switches to permanent heating.
Note:If you select either position LO or HI, the system does not
regulate a stable temperature.
Mono Mode
In this mode, the temperature settings for both the driver’s side and
passenger’s side are linked. If you adjust the setting using the rotary
control on the driver’s side, the system adjusts the temperature on the
passenger side.
Switching Mono Mode Off
Select a temperature for the passenger’s side using the rotary control on
the passenger’s side. Mono mode automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver’s side remains unchanged. You can now adjust
the driver’s side and passenger’s side temperatures independently of
each another. The temperature settings for each are shown in the
display.
Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the AUTO button. The passenger’s side temperature is
adjusted to the driver’s side temperature setting.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog
up.
Note:A small amount of air may be felt from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note:To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere
with the airflow to the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust
the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Increase
the temperature and fan speed to improve clearing if required.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Do not adjust the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely
hot or cold. The system automatically adjusts to the previously stored
settings. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and
side air vents should be fully open.
Note:At low ambient temperatures with AUTO selected, the air stream
is directed toward the windshield and side windows for as long as the
engine remains cold.
Note:When the system is switched off, outside air is prevented from
entering your vehicle.
Note:When the system is in AUTO mode, and the interior and exterior
temperatures are high, the system automatically selects recirculated air
to maximize cooling of the interior. When the selected air temperature is
reached, the system automatically selects outside air.
Note:When you select windshield defrosting and defogging, the
instrument panel and footwell level functions automatically switch off
and air conditioning switches on. Outside air flows into your vehicle.

REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION
The climate control system adjusts the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can now
make adjustments. You will need to turn certain vehicle-dependent
features back on, such as:
•heated seats
•heated mirrors
•heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the information display controls. See
theInformation Displayschapter.
Automatic Climate Systems
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote Start > Climate Control > Heater –
A/C > Auto. The climate control system automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C).
In moderate weather, the system either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster and heated mirrors are not
automatically turned on.
In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C). The rear defroster and
heated mirrors are automatically turned on.
Last Settings
You can set the climate control to operate using the last climate control
settings through the information display setting: Remote Start > Climate
Control > Heater – A/C > Last Settings. The climate control system
automatically uses the settings last selected before the vehicle was
turned off.
Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls other heated and cooled devices
inside the vehicle. These devices (if available, and selected to AUTO in
the information displays) may also be switched on during remote start.
Heated devices are typically switched on during cold weather, and cooled
devices during hot weather.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may
take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
Note:Some features are not available while the vehicle is moving.
Note:Your system is equipped with a feature that allows you to access
and control audio features for 30 minutes after the ignition has been
turned off (as long as no doors are opened).
This system uses a four-corner strategy to provide quick access to vehicle
features and settings. The comprehensive touchscreen provides easy
interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia, climate control and
navigation system. The corners display any active modes within those
menus, such as your phone being connected or the climate temperature.
