A/C: Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioningcools your vehicle using outside air. To improve the time to reach a comfortabletemperature in hot weather, drive with the windows open until you feel cold airthrough the air vents.
F
Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air andrecirculated air. The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates.This can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odorsfrom entering your vehicle.
G
Heated seats (if equipped): Press the button to switch the heated seats onand off. See Heated Seats (page 116).H
MAX A/C: Press the button for maximum cooling. Recirculated air flows throughthe instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on and the fanautomatically adjusts to the highest speed.
I
MAX Defrost: Press the button to switch on defrost. Outside air flows throughthe windshield vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and fanautomatically adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting todefrost and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear windowalso automatically turns on when you select maximum defrost.
J
Power: Press the button to switch the system on and off. When the system isoff, it prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.K
Temperature Control
You can set a temperature between 60°F(15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C). If you selectLO, the system is set to permanent cooling.If you select HI, the system is set topermanent heating.
Note:If you select LO or HI, the systemdoes not maintain a stable temperature.
Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control systemlinks the temperature settings for both thedriver’s side and passenger’s side. If youadjust the setting using the rotary controlon the driver’s side, the system adjusts thetemperature to the same setting on thepassenger’s side.
To switch back to single zone control fromdual zone, press and hold AUTO for a fewseconds. The passenger’s side temperatureswitches to the driver’s side temperaturesetting.

Note:To reduce humidity build-up insideyour vehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated air alwaysswitched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with the airflowto the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindshield.
Note:To improve the time to reach comfortin hot weather, drive with the windows fullyopen until you feel cold air through the airvents.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshieldduring humid weather, adjust the airdistribution control to the windshield airvents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Adjusting the settings when yourvehicle interior is extremely hot or cold isnot necessary. The system automaticallyadjusts to heat or cool the cabin to yourselected temperature as quickly as possible.For the system to function efficiently, theinstrument panel and side air vents shouldbe fully open.

WARNINGS
Do not remove the filler cap whenthe engine is running.
Do not use supplemental engine oiladditives because they are unnecessaryand could lead to engine damage that maynot be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Only use oils certified for gasoline enginesby the American Petroleum Institute (API).An oil with this trademark symbolconforms to the current engine andemission system protection standards andfuel economy requirements of theInternational Lubricants SpecificationAdvisory Committee (ILSAC).
To top up the engine oil level do thefollowing:
1.Clean the area surrounding the engineoil filler cap before you remove it.
2.Remove the engine oil filler cap. SeeUnder Hood Overview (page 213).Turn it counterclockwise and removeit.
3.Add engine oil that meets Fordspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 274). SeeCapacities and Specifications (page277). You may have to use a funnel topour the engine oil into the opening.
4.Recheck the oil level.
5.If the oil level is correct, replace thedipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
6.Replace the engine oil filler cap. Turnit clockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
Note: Do not add oil further than themaximum mark. Oil levels above themaximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note:Make sure you install the oil filler capcorrectly.
Note:Soak up any spillage with anabsorbent cloth immediately.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR
RESET (If Equipped)
Only reset the system after changing theengine oil and oil filter.
Resetting the Oil Life MonitoringSystem
1.Switch the ignition on. Do not start theengine.
2.Fully press the accelerator and brakepedals at the same time.
3.Keep the accelerator and brake pedalsfully pressed.
4.After three seconds, a messageappears confirming that the reset is inprogress.
5.After 25 seconds, a message appearsconfirming that the reset is complete.

Under certain conditions, the enginecooling fan may continue to run for severalminutes after you switch your vehicle off.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNINGS
Never remove the coolant reservoircap when the engine is running orhot.
Do not put coolant in the windshieldwasher reservoir. If sprayed on thewindshield, coolant could make itdifficult to see through the windshield.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,make sure the engine is cool beforeunscrewing the coolant pressurerelief cap. The cooling system is underpressure. Steam and hot liquid can comeout forcefully when you loosen the capslightly.
Do not add coolant further than theMAX mark.
When the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the coolant atthe intervals listed in the scheduledmaintenance information. See ScheduledMaintenance (page 409).
Note:Make sure that the coolant level isbetween the MIN and MAX marks on thecoolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Maintain coolant concentration within48% to 50%, which equates to a freezepoint between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F(-37°C). Coolant concentration should bechecked using a refractometer. We do notrecommend the use of hydrometers orcoolant test strips for measuring coolantconcentration.
Adding Coolant
WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when theengine is hot. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personalinjury.
Never remove the coolant reservoircap when the engine is running orhot.
Note: Automotive fluids are notinterchangeable. Take care not to putengine coolant in the windshield washerfluid reservoir or windshield washer fluid inthe engine coolant reservoir.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, coolingsystem sealants, or non-specified additivesas they can cause damage to the enginecooling or heating systems. Resultingcomponent damage may not be covered bythe vehicle Warranty.
It is very important to use predilutedcoolant approved to the correctspecification in order to avoid plugging thesmall passageways in the engine coolingsystem. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 268). Do not mixdifferent colors or types of coolant in yourvehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or usingan incorrect coolant may harm the engineor cooling system components and maynot be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:If prediluted coolant is not available,use the approved concentrated coolantdiluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. SeeCapacities and Specifications (page 268).Using water that has not been deionisedmay contribute to deposit formation,corrosion and plugging of the small coolingsystem passageways.
