HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
•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 you can open a window 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 air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
•The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Maximum Cooling Performance
PressMAX A/C.The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting.LOappears in the display. Air conditioning

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.
•Pre-condition the interior temperature during vehicle charging
reduces the battery energy use on the interior comfort and improves
range. SeeConvenience charging with MyFord mobilein the
Charging Your High Voltage Batterychapter.Note:Your vehicle
may not always reach the set cabin temperature due to charging and
ambient temperature conditions.
•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 partially opening a window (or windows) to let fresh air
circulate, if weather conditions permit. You can achieve maximum
energy savings 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 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.
HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
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
to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light on
the control will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster turns

CABIN AIR FILTER
Note:Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This
prevents 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 under the instrument panel in the
passenger footwell area. The particulate filtration system reduces the
concentration of airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in
the air supplied to the interior of your vehicle. The particulate filtration
system gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
•It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
•It improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
•It protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See theScheduled Maintenance
chapter.
For more information about your filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION
The climate control system adjusts the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can now
make adjustments. You will need to turn certain vehicle-dependent
features back on, such as:
•heated seats
•heated mirrors
•heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the information display controls.
See theInformation Displayschapter.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION
WARNING:Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always sit upright against your seat
back, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe
personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:Do not place objects higher than the seat backs to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or
when stopping suddenly.
When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint, safety belt and
airbags will provide optimum
protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these guidelines:
•Do not recline the seat back more than 30 degrees from vertical.
•Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as
possible.
•Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.
•Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches (250 millimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.

•Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.
•Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.
•Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING:To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in or
operate the vehicle, until the head restraint is placed in its proper
position. The driver should never adjust the head restraint while the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING:The adjustable head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible, it should be installed and properly adjusted
when the seat is occupied.
WARNING:Install the head restraint properly to minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Note:Adjust the seat back to an upright driving position before
adjusting any head restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that the top of
it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible,
remaining comfortable. For occupants of extremely tall stature, adjust
the head restraint to its highest position.
