DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
(WITH MyTemp)
Note:You can switch temperature units between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
SeeSettingsin theMyFord TouchorMyLincoln Touchchapter.
A.MyTemp:Allows you to quickly adjust to a frequently used setting
with a single touch.
Press + and - to increase and decrease the temperature.
Touch and hold MyTemp to save the current temperature. To access the
setting again, touch the MyTemp indicator again.
B.Power/Fan speed control:Press to turn the system off and on.
When the system is off, outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
Turn to increase or decrease the fan speed.
C.DUAL:Allows the passenger to set their temperature independent of
the driver temperature.
D.Recirculated air:Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note:Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected
or can be turned on manually in any airflow mode except Defrost.
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.

•heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the information display controls.
See theInformation Displayschapter.

The rear defroster and heated mirrors are automatically turned on.

Ventilated Seats
The ventilated seats will only function when the engine is running.
To operate the ventilated seats:
Press the ventilated seat symbol to cycle through the
various cooling settings and off. Cooler settings are
indicated by more indicator lights.
If the engine falls below 350 RPM while the ventilated seats are on, the
feature will turn itself off. You will need to reactivate it.
Note:When the heated or ventilated front seat is active, you will be able
to hear the fan operating inside the seat. This is normal.
Heated and Ventilated Seat Air Filter Replacement (If Equipped)
The climate controlled seat system includes air filters. You must replace
them periodically. See thescheduled maintenance information.
Locate the filters under each front seat and access them from the
second-row foot-well area. Move the front seats all the way forward and
to the full up positions to ease access.
To remove an air filter:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2.
Push up on the outside rigid
edge of the filter and rotate
counterclockwise once the tabs are
released, then remove the filter.
