HEADLAMP CONTROL
Rotate the headlamp control to the
first position to turn on the parking
lamps. Rotate to the second position
to also turn on the headlamps.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:
²the ignition must be in the ON position and
²the headlamp control is in the OFF or Parking lamps position.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel during headlamp
and parklamp operation.
²Rotate up to brighten.
²Rotate down to dim.
²Rotate to full up position (past
detent) to turn on interior lamps.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT
The power point is an additional power source for electrical accessories.
Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the powerpoint.
The maximum current draw of any single power point is 20 Amps.
Exceeding this limit may result in a blown fuse.
There are up to four auxiliary power points in the following locations:
²Located on the instrument panel.
²Located on the back side of the
center console (Accessible from
the second row seats).
²Located in the left side storage
compartment in the third row
seating position.

Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
²
MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than A/C but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle
faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode
can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is quieter than MAX A/C
but not as economical. Airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers.
²
(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. However, the air will not be cooled below the outside
temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. For added customer comfort,
when the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full
hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through the floor ducts
will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel
registers.
²
(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the floor ducts. However, the air will not be cooled below the
outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in
this mode.
²
(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added
customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts will be
slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If
the temperature is about 10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner
will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
²
(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
If the temperature is about 10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner
will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.

Operating tips
²In humid weather, selectbefore driving. This will reduce fogging
on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
²Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
Auxiliary A/C-heater controls (if equipped)
The auxiliary A/C-heater feature provides increased capacity to quickly
heat or cool the vehicle. Besides the driver's control panel for the front
seat occupants, the second row auxiliary A/C-heater controls allow the
rear passengers to control the temperature in the rear of the vehicle
through a second control panel above the second row.
Controls and features
24

Your auxiliary A/C controls are
located in the overhead console.
In order for the auxiliary A/C-heater
controls to function, the driver's
auxiliary A/C-heater control must be
set to REAR.
The instrument panel A/C - heater
controls must be on in order for the
auxiliary A/C-heater to operate.
When the auxiliary A/C-heater control is set to FLOOR, airflow only
occurs from the third row seat floor vent located in the passenger's side
rear quarter trim panel.
When the auxiliary A/C-heater
control is set to PANEL, airflow
occurs from the overhead 2nd and
3rd row registers.

Turn the fan speed control knob to
the desired speed.
Turn the temperature control to the
desired temperature.
If the front seat control panel is set
to MAX A/C, only cool air will be
provided because no heating is
available in this mode. You can get
warm or cool air through either the overhead registers or floor vent by
turning the auxiliary mode selector:
²Far left for airflow to the overhead registers.
²Far right for airflow to the rear floor vent.
²Anywhere between PANEL and
FLOOR to vary airflow between
the outlets.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
The rear defroster control is located
on the instrument panel.
Press the rear defroster control to
clear the rear window of thin ice
and fog.
²A small LED will illuminate when
the rear defroster is activated.
The ignition must be in the ON position to operate the rear window
defroster.
The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the defroster
before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.

If equipped with the Electronic Shift 4WD System, and the
instrument panel control is moved to 4WD Low while the vehicle
is moving, the system will not engage and no damage will occur to
the 4WD system. Before 4WD Low can be engaged, the vehicle
must be at a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed and
the transmission in N (Neutral).
4H or 4L operation is not recommended on dry pavement. Doing
so could result in difficult disengagement of the transfer case,
increased tire wear and decreased fuel economy.
Electronic shift on the fly (ESOF) 4x4 system
The 4WD system:
²provides 4x4 High engagement and disengagement while the vehicle is
moving.
²is operated by a rotary control located on the instrument panel that
allows you select 2WD, 4x4 High or 4x4 Low operation.
²uses hub locks that can be engaged and disengaged automatically by
using a rotary control located on the instrument panel.
²automatic hub locks can be
manually overridden by rotating
the hub lock control from AUTO
to LOCK. Automatic operation of
the hub locks is recommended.
²For proper operation, make
sure that the arrow and the
indicator dot on the hub are
aligned.
4WD system indicator lights
The 4WD system indicator lights illuminate only under the following
conditions. If these lights illuminate when driving in 2WD, contact your
Ford dealer as soon as possible.
