DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (DATC) SYSTEM
Temperature conversion:To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
Press MENU > Display Settings > Temp. Setting. If your vehicle is
equipped with the touchscreen system, press Menu > Settings > System
> Temperature.
1. Press to turn the system on or off.
2. Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents
and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog
and thin ice. Automatically turns on rear window defroster and
heated mirrors. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow
selection.
3. MAX A/C: Press to distribute recirculated air through the instrument
panel vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
4. Passenger temperature setting: Rotate knob to turn on dual zone
operation and select the desired temperature for the passenger only. To
return to single zone operation, press and hold AUTO for two to four
seconds.

5. Press to turn air recirculation in cabin on or off. Recirculated
air may reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of
the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired odors from
reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except defrost (button 6). Recirculated air may turn
off automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog
potential.
6. Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. The system automatically provides outside air
to reduce window fogging. Press again to turn off defrost mode.
7. Press to distribute air through the instrument panel vents.
Press again to turn off panel mode.
8. Distributes air through the demister vents and front and rear
seat floor vents. Press again to turn off floor mode.
9. A/C: Press to turn air conditioning on or off. Use with recirculated air
to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages automatically in
some modes.
10. Press the large fan icon to manually increase the fan speed;
press the small fan icon to manually decrease the fan speed.
Pressing one of the fan speed buttons while in AUTO mode
takes the system out of AUTO fan mode.
11. AUTO: Press to engage full automatic operation. Once you select
your desired temperature using the temperature control, the system then
automatically determines fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off,
and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach and
maintain the desired temperature.
12. Driver temperature setting: Turn to increase or decrease the
temperature for the driver (when in dual zone mode) or the entire
vehicle (when in single zone mode).
Operating Tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless a window can be opened to help circulate
fresh air.

•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows open for
approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the
vehicle has “aired out.”
• The A/C system is used to cool both the interior of the vehicle and the
high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, interior cooling may
be temporarily reduced if the high voltage battery requires cooling.
Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to allow automatic
battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
• Interior heating is done by an electrical heater. Set the fan at a lower
speed to get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
Maximum Cooling Performance
1. Press MAX A/C. The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting. LO appears in the display.
2. A/C,
andwill be selected.
3. Fan speed will be increased to the highest speed, but can be adjusted
as desired.
Side Window Defogging or Defrosting 1. Select air distribution through the floor vent.
2. Select air distribution through the panel vent.
3. Select A/C.
4. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
5. Set the fan to the highest speed.
6. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.

Improving Vehicle Drive Range
Your vehicle is equipped with a high voltage electric compressor and a
high voltage electric heater. You can increase your driving range by
minimizing the amount of energy expended to cool or heat the interior
during the drive.
•Press the brake pedal and power button while the vehicle is charging
to switch the climate control system on. This is beneficial because it
draws as much power as possible from the wall charge and not the
high voltage battery.
• Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. See Convenience charging with MyFord mobile in the
Charging Your High Voltage Battery chapter.
• Hot and cold temperatures make your vehicle use more energy to
achieve and maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Park the
vehicle in the shade or in a parking structure when hot, and in a
garage when cold.
• Consider opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air circulate, if
weather conditions permit. Maximum energy savings can be achieved
by switching the climate system off. Do this only if conditions exist
for safe vehicle operation.
• Reduce fan speed.
• Set the AUTO temperature a couple degrees cooler than you normally
do on cold days and a couple degrees higher on hot days. Use the
heated seats on cold days to increase interior comfort.
• Switch the air conditioning system off in mild temperatures or low
humidity conditions.
• Defrost mode automatically turns the air conditioning on to
dehumidify the air, and cannot be switched off. If defogging or
defrosting is not necessary, select a non-defrost mode and disengage
air conditioning to extend vehicle range.
• Air conditioning and heating functions are automatically switched off
(unless in defrost mode) when driving distance to empty is zero miles
(zero km). The interior fan continues to operate, however.
Touchscreen Features
Your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen system. You can access
climate features using the touchscreen and voice commands. Refer to
Touchscreen climate controls in theMyFord Touch chapter for more
information.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
Note:The vehicle must be in Ready to Drive for this feature to work.
The rear window defroster control is located on the climate control panel
and works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
Press
Rto turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on the
control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns off
automatically after a predetermined amount of time, if a low battery
condition is detected or when the ignition is turned off or to the
accessory position. To manually turn off the rear window defroster at any
time, press the control again.
If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same control will activate both. Refer to Heated outside mirrorsin
the Driver Controls chapter.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside or the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: A cabin air filter must be installed at all times to prevent foreign
objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
Your cabin air filter is located in the passenger foot well area. The cabin
air filter element is designed to reduce the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the air being supplied to the
interior of the vehicle. The presence of a particulate filter element
provides the following benefits:
• Improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
• Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
• Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
For replacement intervals regarding the cabin air filter, see the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter. For more information regarding your
filter, see your authorized dealer.
