PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate
control system to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield. The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air toward the windshield and the door
windows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face. Air Conditioning
The system directs air through the
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator
extracts humidity from the air to help keep
the windows free of mist. The system
directs the resulting condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which may cause
a small pool to form under your vehicle.
This is normal.
Note:
The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.
AIR VENTS
Center Air Vents To close the air vent, turn the thumbwheel
above the vent fully downward.

Tourneo Connect/Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 07/2013 Climate ControlE132995

Side Air Vents To close the air vent, slide the airflow
direction control fully downward.

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.
A
Recirculated air:
Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and
the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce
the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering
your vehicle.
B
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select MAX A/C, the
system distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel air vents. This
mode is more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. When the
temperature control is in the
MAX A/C position, the air conditioning or
recirculated air can be turned on and off.
C
Air conditioning:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve the performance
of the air conditioning, drive with the widows slightly open for the first two or
three minutes.
D
Air distribution control:
Adjust to select the desired air distribution.
E Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel and
footwell air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the footwell air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the windshield and footwell air
vents. Select to distribute air through
the windshield air vents. You can
also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of
ice. You can also increase the temperature
and fan speed to improve clearing.
When the temperature is above 4°C
(39°F), the air conditioning will switch on
automatically. Make sure that the blower
is on. The indicator in the switch will
illuminate during defrosting and demisting.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (If Equipped)
AUTO:
Press the button to select automatic operation. The system
automatically controls the temperature, amount and distribution of the airflow
to reach and maintain your previously selected temperature.
A
Fan speed:
Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Press the
buttons to select the desired fan speed. The setting is shown in the display.
B
On and off button:

MAX Defrost:
Press the button to distribute outside air through the windshield
air vents. Air conditioning is automatically selected. The fan is set to the highest
speed and the temperature to HI. When the air distribution is set in this position
you are unable to select recirculated air or manually adjust the temperature
control. Press the
AUTO button to return to auto mode.
D
MAX A/C:
Press the button to distribute maximum air conditioning through
the instrument panel air vents. This mode is more economical and efficient
than normal air conditioning.
E
Recirculated air:
Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates.
This can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.
F
Defrost:
Press the button to distribute air through the windshield air vents. You
can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of
ice.

Footwell: Press the button to distribute air through the footwell air vents.
I
Air conditioning:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning
when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
J
Temperature Control You can set the temperature between
60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C). In
position LO, the system switches to
permanent cooling. In position HI, the
system switches to permanent heating.
Note:
If you select either position LO or HI,
the system does not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono Mode
In this mode, the temperature settings for
both the driver side and passenger side are
linked. If you adjust the setting using the
rotary control on the driver side, the system
adjusts the temperature to the same
setting on the passenger side. Switching Mono Mode Off
Select a temperature for the passenger
side using the rotary control on the
passenger side. Mono mode automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver
side remains unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver side and passenger side
temperatures independently. The
temperature settings for each side are
shown in the display.
Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the
AUTO button. The
passenger side temperature is adjusted to
the driver side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt
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: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
