A/C: Press to turn air conditioning off and on. 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 air conditioning
with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Note:
Air
conditioning turns on automatically in MAX A/C, defrost and floor and defrost
modes.
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 air
conditioning. When in MAX A/C mode, pressing
MAX A/C returns you to your
previous settings.
F
Recirculated air:
Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air.
When the air currently in the passenger compartment is recirculating, the LED
on the button illuminates. Using recirculated air can reduce the time needed to
cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle. Even
when you do not select this button, air may still recirculate in some instances
in order to reduce vehicle warm-up time in cold conditions or to cool down time
G
in hot conditions. Note: Recirculated air engages automatically when you select
MAX A/C
, or turn on manually in any airflow mode except defrost. Note: You
may notice changes in sound between recirculated mode and other airflow
modes. Note:
For better cooling in hot conditions, recirculated air automatically
engages when the air distribution control is in panel or panel and floor modes
and the air conditioning is on. You can switch to fresh air by pressing the
recirculated air button again.
PASS TEMP:
Press to switch between single and dual zone. Turn to increase
or decrease the air temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle.
H
Fan speed control +:
Press to increase the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle.
I
AUTO:
Press 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.
J
Fan speed control -:
Press to decrease the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle.
K
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
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. 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.

Super Duty (TFA) Climate Control

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
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls. See
Information Displays (page 81).
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, heated seats and cooled seats do
not automatically turn on.
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. Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls other
heated and cooled devices inside the
vehicle. You can switch these devices on
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information displays) during remote start.
Heated devices usually switch on during
cold weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather. If your vehicle is equipped
with a diesel engine and a supplemental
heater, the supplemental heater also turns
on.

Super Duty (TFA) Climate Control

Note:
Electrical or electronic accessories
or components added to the vehicle by the
dealer or the owner may adversely affect
battery performance and durability.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery which normally
does not require additional water during
its life of service.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
top of the battery clean and dry. Also,
make certain the battery cables are always
tightly fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or
terminals, remove the cables from the
terminals and clean with a wire brush. You
can neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
It is recommended that the negative
battery cable terminal be disconnected
from the battery if you plan to store your
vehicle for an extended period of time.
Because your vehicle ’s engine is
electronically controlled by a computer,
some control conditions are maintained
by power from the battery. When the
battery is disconnected or a new battery
is installed, the engine must relearn its idle
and fuel trim strategy for optimum
driveability and performance. Flexible fuel
vehicles (FFV) must also relearn the
ethanol content of the fuel for optimum
driveability and performance. To begin this
process
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P, turn off all
accessories.
3. Start the engine. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating
temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one
minute.
5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. 6. Release the parking brake. With your
foot on the brake pedal and with the
A/C on, put the vehicle in
D and allow
the engine to idle for at least one
minute.
• If you do not allow the engine to
relearn its idle trim, the idle quality
of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the idle trim is
eventually relearned.
7. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process
•The vehicle may need to be driven
10 mi (16 km) or more to relearn the
idle and fuel trim strategy along
with the ethanol content for flexible
fuel vehicles.
• For flexible fuel vehicles, if you are
operating on E85, you may
experience poor starts or an
inability to start the engine and
driveability problems until the fuel
trim and ethanol content have been
relearned.
If the battery has been disconnected or a
new battery has been installed, the clock
and radio settings must be reset once the
battery is reconnected.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized standards
for disposal. Call your local authorized
recycling center to find out more about
recycling automotive batteries.
Battery Management System (If
Equipped)
The battery management system (BMS)
monitors battery conditions and takes
actions to extend battery life. If excessive
battery drain is detected, the system may
temporarily disable certain electrical
features to protect the battery. Those
electrical accessories affected include the
rear defrost, heated/cooled seats, climate
