PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate
control system to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the coolant.
General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate
Close the windows. Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air toward the windshield and the door
windows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face.
Air Conditioning
The system directs condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which could cause
a small pool of water to form under your
vehicle. This is normal.
Note:
The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.

MAX Defrost: Press to switch on defrost. The driver and passenger settings
set to HI, outside air flows through the windshield vents, and fan automatically
adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting to defrost and clear
the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also
automatically turns on when you select maximum defrost.
D
Note:
To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
MAX A/C:
Press for maximum cooling. The driver and passenger settings set
to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning
automatically turns on and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
E
Recirculated air:
Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air. The
air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
F
Note:
Recirculated air may turn on and off automatically (or prevent you from
switching on) in all modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging or to
improve cooling efficiency.
Air distribution control:
Press to switch airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.
G
A/C:
Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning cools your
vehicle using outside air. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve performance
and efficiency.
H
Note: In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even though the air conditioning is
switched off.
Temperature Control You can set the temperature between
59°F (15°C)
and 86°F (30°C). In position
LO, the system switches to permanent
cooling. In position HI, the system switches
to permanent heating.
Note: If you select either position LO or HI,
the system does not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono Mode
In this mode, the temperature settings for
both the driver side and passenger side are
linked. If you adjust the setting using the
rotary control on the driver side, the system
adjusts the temperature to the same
setting on the passenger side.
98
2018 Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America, CG3709en enUSA, Edition date: 201704, First Printing Climate ControlE133115

Switching Mono Mode Off
Select a temperature for the passenger
side using the rotary control on the
passenger side. Mono mode automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver
side remains unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver side and passenger side
temperatures independently. The
temperature settings for each side are
shown in the display.
Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the AUTO button. The
passenger side temperature is adjusted to
the driver side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
