MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL WITH AUXILIARY CLIMATE
CONTROL (TYPE 1)
A.Front fan speed control:Controls the volume of air circulated in
your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired fan speed.
B.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the airflow in
your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature.
C.Air distribution control:Turn the control to switch airflow from the
windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can
distribute air through any combination of these vents.
MAX A/C:Turn the control to this position to maximize cooling.
Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air
conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts
to the highest speed.
D.Auxiliary climate control fan speed:Press to increase the volume
of air circulated in the rear passenger area of the vehicle.
E.REAR (on/off):Press the button to switch the rear climate control
system on and off. or to turn on the auxiliary climate control with the
same settings as the front.

F.REAR (temperature control):Press to turn on the auxiliary climate
control system and to set the desired rear temperature with the front
control. The rear temperature is the same as the front temperature when
only the center rear temperature light (REAR) is lit. The rear
temperature is different from the front temperature when more than one
rear temperature light (REAR) is lit.
G.Heated rear window:Turns the heated rear window on and off. See
Heated windows and mirrorslater in this chapter for more
information.
H.Recirculated air:Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed
to cool the interior (when used withA/C)and may reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note:Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented
from turning on) in all airflow modes exceptMAX A/Cto reduce risk
of fogging.
I.A/C:Press the button to switch the air conditioning compressor on or
off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.

and de-mister. Air distribution to instrument panel and footwell vents
turn off. You can use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a
thin covering of ice.

passenger side of the vehicle.
L.Fan speed +:Press to increase the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
M.AUTO:Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts
fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside
air or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the
desired temperature. You can also use theAUTObutton to switch off
dual zone operation by touching and holding the button for more than
two seconds.
N.Air distribution control:Press this button to switch airflow from
the windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system
can distribute air through any combination of these vents.

Trailer Lamps
WARNING:Never connect any trailer lamp wiring to the
vehicle’s tail lamp wiring; this may damage the electrical system
resulting in a fire. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible for
assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical
equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing up to get the feel of your
vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph (113 km/h) during the first 500 miles
(800 kilometers).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts
thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).
•When stopped in congested or heavy traffic during hot weather, place
the gearshift in positionPto aid engine and transmission cooling and
to help air conditioning performance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The
speed control may turn off automatically when you are towing on
long, steep grades.
•Shift to a lower gear when driving down a long or steep hill. Do not
apply the brakes continuously, as they may overheat and become less
effective.
•If your transmission is equipped with a Grade Assist or Tow/Haul
feature, use this feature when towing. This provides engine braking
and helps eliminate excessive transmission shifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
•If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac™ with RSC, this system
may turn on during typical cornering maneuvers with a heavily loaded
trailer. This is normal. Turning the corner at a slower speed while
towing may reduce this tendency.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•It may be necessary to have a Ford authorized dealer decrease the
coolant concentration to 40%.
•A coolant concentration of 40% will provide improved overheat
protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the
corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and
may cause engine damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
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 restarted. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.

4Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid. Refer to
scheduled maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other
than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.5Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size and if
equipped with an in-tank cooler.6Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for life.
These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the axle has been
submerged in water.7Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent for complete refill of Ford limited
slip rear axles.8See the warning below:
WARNING:The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R–134a under high
pressure. Opening and air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury. Only
qualified personnel should service the air conditioning refrigerant system.
