Note:
Replacing the battery will not delete
the transmitter from the vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.
Integrated Keyhead Transmitter 1. Twist a thin coin in the slot of the
transmitter near the key ring to remove
the battery cover.
2. Carefully peel up the rubber gasket from the transmitter. It may come off
with the battery cover.
3. Remove the old battery
4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the instructions inside the transmitter for
the correct orientation of the battery.
Press the battery down to make sure
it is fully in the housing.
5. Reinstall the rubber gasket.
6. Snap the battery cover back onto the transmitter.
Memory Feature (If Equipped)
You can program your integrated keyhead
transmitter to recall memory settings for
the driver seat, power mirrors and power
foot pedals. See Memory Function (page
120
). Car Finder Press the button twice within
three seconds. The horn will
sound and the turn signals will
flash. We recommend you use this method
to locate your vehicle, rather than using
the panic alarm.
Sounding a Panic Alarm
Note: The panic alarm will only operate
when the ignition is off. Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or
turn the ignition on to deactivate
it.
Remote Start
(If Equipped) WARNING
To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated. Note:
Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be set to operate when you remote
start the vehicle. See
Climate Control
(page 110). A manual climate control
system will run at the setting it was set to
when you switch the vehicle off.

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
Defrost: Select to distribute air through the windshield air vents. Air distribution
to the instrument panel and footwell vents turns off. You can also use this
setting to defrost and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
A
Heated rear window: Press the button to switch the heated rear window on
and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 115).
B
Air distribution control: Adjust the control to turn airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.
C
A/C:
Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air
conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
D
Note:
In certain conditions, the air conditioning compressor may continue to
operate even after you switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button.
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 with
A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from
entering your vehicle.
E
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow
modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.

panel or instrument panel and floor airflow modes during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
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: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
112
Super Duty (TFA) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Climate Control

Note:
To improve the time to reach comfort
in hot weather, drive with the windows
slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up
or until your vehicle airs out.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open. Note:
If you select AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
