2013 LINCOLN MKT air conditioning

E.MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
F.A/C:Press the button to turn air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools the vehicle using outside air. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note:A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.
G.Power:Press to turn the system on and off. When the system is off,
outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.
H.AUTO:Press the button to turn on fully automatic operation. Select
the desired temperature using the temperature control. The system
automatically determines fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and
outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the
selected temperature.
I.Rear defrost:Turns the heated rear window on and off. Refer to
Heated rear windowlater in this chapter for more information. If your
vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button turns them on also.
J.Defrost:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
de-mister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.

The air conditioning may also cycle on and off during severe operating
conditions to protect overheating of the engine. When the engine coolant
temperature decreases to a more normal operating temperature, the air
conditioning will turn on once again.
If you notice any of the following:
•the engine coolant temperature gauge moves fully into the red (hot)
area
•the coolant temperature warning light illuminates
•the service engine soon indicator illuminates
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and place the vehicle in P
(Park).
2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle
moves away from the H range. After several minutes, if this does not
happen, follow the remaining steps.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for it to cool before checking the coolant
level.
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
4. If the coolant level is normal, you may restart your engine and
continue on.
5. If the coolant is low, add coolant, restart the engine and take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer. SeeAdding engine coolantin this
chapter for more information.
Refer to fail-safe cooling for additional information.
What you should know about fail-safe cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load
and terrain.

How fail-safe cooling works
If the engine begins to overheat, the engine coolant temperature gauge
will move to the red (hot) area and:
The coolant temperature warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine will
automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to
increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be re-started. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When fail-safe mode is activated
WARNING:Fail-safe mode is for use during emergencies only.
Operate the vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long as necessary to
bring the vehicle to rest in a safe location and seek immediate repairs.
When in fail-safe mode, the vehicle will have limited power, will not be
able to maintain high-speed operation, and may completely shut down
without warning, potentially losing engine power, power steering assist,
and power brake assist, which may increase the possibility of a crash
resulting in serious injury.

•May be engaged manually in any airflow mode except defrost.
•May turn off in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog
potential.
E.MAX A/C:Touch to cool the vehicle with recirculated air. Touch again
for normal A/C operation. MAX A/C:
•Distributes air through instrument panel vents.
•Is more economical and efficient than normal A/C mode
•May help reduce odors from entering the vehicle.
F.A/C:Touch to turn the air conditioning on or off.
•Use with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
•Engages automatically in MAX A/C, defrost and floor/defrost.
G.AUTO:Touch to engage automatic operation, then set the
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
controls:
•Fan speed
•Airflow distribution
•A/Conoroff
•Outside or recirculated air
H.Rear defroster:Touch to turn the rear window defroster and heated
mirrors (if equipped).
I.Defrost:Touch to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice. Touch again
to return to the previous airflow selection. When on, defrost:
•Provides outside air to reduce window fogging.
•Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister
vents.
J.Manual controls:Select any of the following airflow distribution
modes:
•Floor/Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents,
demister vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents, and provides
outside air to reduce window fogging.
•Panel: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.
•Panel/Floor: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents,
demister vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
