Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and
pollen in the air supplied to the interior
of your vehicle.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives
you and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior
compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle
deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START
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 need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 103).
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). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.

MKZ (CC9) Climate Control

In cold weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). The heated seats and
heated steering wheel are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in
the information display). The rear
defroster and heated mirrors
automatically turn 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 turning off the vehicle.
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 switch on
during remote start. Heated devices
typically switch on during cold
weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of
position or with the seat back
reclined too far can take weight off
the seat cushion and affect the
decision of the passenger sensing
system, resulting in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with
your feet on the floor. Do not recline the seat back as
this can cause the occupant to
slide under the safety belt, resulting
in serious injury in the event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than
the seat back to reduce the risk
of serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and air bags
will provide optimum protection in the
event of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more
than 30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as
possible. Make sure that you
remain comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel.
We recommend a minimum of 10
inches (25 centimeters) between
your breastbone and the air bag
cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your
arms slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you
can press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint
before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Do not adjust the head restraint when
your vehicle is moving.
