CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a particulate air filtration system. The
system 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 particulate filtration system gives the following benefits to
customers:
•Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits
The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl grille
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.

Moisture sensitive wipers (if equipped)
The moisture sensitive wipers will automatically activate when moisture
is present on the windshield and the multifunction switch is set to one of
five Auto sensitivity settings. The five Auto sensitivity settings determine
how often the wipers will wipe based upon the moisture on the
windshield. Rotating the knob from the Auto position towards the
windshield selects a higher sensitivity and more wipes will occur. For
fewer wipes, select a lower setting.
The wipers will continue to wipe as
long as the presence of moisture is
detected on the windshield. The
number of wipes that occur will vary
based on the amount of moisture
detected on the windshield and the
Auto setting. The sensitivity to
moisture is automatically increased
at night. When the ignition is turned ON, the wipers will perform one
wipe if one of the five Auto settings is selected.
