DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing
diagnostic information about your vehicle.
This potentially includes information about
the performance or status of various
systems and modules in the vehicle, such
as engine, throttle, steering or brake systems. In order to properly diagnose and
service your vehicle, Ford Motor Company,
Ford of Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among them
vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle
when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.
Additionally, when your vehicle is in for
service or repair, Ford Motor Company,
Ford of Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among them
data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose
to use the SYNC Vehicle Health Report,
you consent that certain diagnostic
information may also be accessed
electronically by Ford Motor Company and
Ford authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be used
for any purpose. See SYNC™ (page 305).
Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder. The main purpose of an
event data recorder is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an airbag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle;
this data will assist in understanding
how a vehicle
’s systems performed.
The event data recorder is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
the brake pedal; and

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Fan speed control:
Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch the fan off, the
windshield may fog up. Light bars on the dial illuminate to indicate fan speed.
A
A/C:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning off and on. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open
for two to three minutes. Use with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.
B
Power:
Press the button to turn the system off and on. When the system is off,
outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
C
Heated rear window:
Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated
Windows and Mirrors (page 126).
D
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the airflow in your vehicle.
Adjust to select the desired temperature.
E
MAX Defrost:
Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full heat
position to turn on. The system distributes outside air through the windshield
air vents, the air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan automatically
adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full heat
position. When MAX defrost is on, recirculated air cannot be selected (to prevent
fogging). The heated rear window is automatically switched on when MAX
defrost is selected.

Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Climate ControlE144491

MAX A/C: Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full cool
position. The system distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
air vents, the air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan speed automatically
adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior air is more economical and efficient.
G
Air distribution control:
Press these buttons to turn airflow from the
windshield, instrument panel and footwell vents. The system can distribute air
through any combination of these air vents. At least one of these buttons
remains on while the system is on.
H
Heated seats (if equipped):
Turn the driver or passenger heated seats on
and off. See Heated Seats (page 135).
I
Recirculated air:
Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool
the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering
your vehicle. Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes
except MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
J
Fan speed indicators:
Illuminate to indicate fan speed.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
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.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
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 system directs airflow
to the windshield and side window vents
and fan may run at a slow speed until the
engine warms up.
