FORD MUSTANG 2001 4.G Owner's Manual

The air conditioning compressor can operate in all
modes except
and. However, the air
conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher.
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.
²MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle.
MAX A/C is noisier than NORM 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 reduce
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
(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, 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 windshield defroster ducts. If the
temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air
to reduce fogging.
²
-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 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner
will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce
fogging.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, place the climate control
system in
before driving. This will reduce
fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield
has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in
cold weather conditions, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C
position.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in
warm weather conditions, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's
climate control system should be left in any
position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to
ªbreatheº through the outside air inlet duct.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your
vehicle's climate control system should be left in
the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This
allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows
closed during warm weather conditions, the air
conditioner will perform more efficiently in

cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three
minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once
the vehicle has been ªaired outº, operate the
climate control system as desired.
²Do not place objects under the front seat that
may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats.
²Remove any snow,
ice or leaves from
the air intake area at
the base of the
windshield.
²Do not place objects over the defroster outlets.
These objects may block airflow and reduce your
visibility through the windshield. Avoid placing
small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects may fall into the defroster outlets
and block airflow, in addition to, damaging your
climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold
weather conditions:
1. Select
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Set the fan speed to HI
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards to side
windows
To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close
the central panel vents.
Do not place objects on top of the
instrument panel, as these objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
