air conditioning LINCOLN LS 2006 Owners Manual

DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (DATC) SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.A/C control:Press to turn on
and manually control the air
conditioning. Press again to
disengage. Press AUTO for the system to automatically control the
temperature.
2.Recirculation control:Press to
engage/disengage. Used to manually
enable or disable recirculated air
operation. When activated, recirculates air in the cabin thereby reducing
the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle. May also
help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.
Will work in all modes except defrost. Recirculation turns off
automatically when floor, floor/defrost or defrost mode is selected. To
reduce humidity inside the vehicle, turn recirculation off.
3.Passenger side temperature
control:Press to engage the dual
zone feature of the DATC system.
Allows the passenger to choose and
control a different temperature than the driver, if desired.
4.Rear defroster:Press to defrost
the rear window. Refer toRear
window defrosterin this section for
more information.

4.Passenger heated seat:Press to turn on the passenger side heated
seat. Press once for full heat (three lights above passenger heated seat
control will be illuminated). Press a second time to select medium heat
(two lights). Press a third time to select low heat (one light). Press a
fourth time to disengage the feature (all lights will be off).
5.
R(Rear defroster): Press to defrost the rear window. Refer to
Rear Window defrosterfor more information.
6.Passenger cooled seat:Press to turn on the passenger side cooled
seat. Press once for full cool (three lights above passenger cooled seat
control will be illuminated). Press a second time to select medium cool
(two lights). Press a third time to select low cool (one light). Press a
fourth time to disengage the feature (all lights will be off).
Automatic heated/cooled passenger seat:To engage, press the
passenger side heat and cool seat controls simultaneously. The center
light above the passenger side heated and cooled controls will illuminate
and the display will show
. This allows the seat to automatically heat
or cool based on the climate control temperature selected. Press either
control to disengage.
7.
(Defrost): Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the demister outlets. Can be used to clear ice or fog
from the windshield. The system will automatically provide outside air to
reduce window fogging.

Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
USING THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
An engine block heater warms the engine coolant which aids in starting
and heater/defroster performance. Use of an engine block heater is
strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach
-10°F (-23°C) or below. For best results, plug the heater in at least three
hours before starting the vehicle. The heater can be plugged in the night
before starting the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding
or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out
and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle has
continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the
vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.
Refer toBrake system warning
lightin theInstrument Cluster
chapter for information on the brake
system warning light.
Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). This
system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by
keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the ABS pump motor and
brake pedal pulsation may be observed during ABS braking and the
brake pedal may suddenly travel a little farther as soon as ABS braking is
done and normal brake operation resumes. These are normal
characteristics of the ABS and should be no reason for concern.

What you should know about fail-safe cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load
and terrain.
How fail-safe cooling works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature
gauge will move to the H (hot)
area.
•The
symbol will
illuminate.
•The
symbol will illuminate.
•The
symbol will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to
increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be re-started. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When fail-safe mode is activated
You have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the
vehicle with caution. The vehicle will not be able to maintain high-speed
operation and the engine will run rough. Remember that the engine is
capable of completely shutting down automatically to prevent engine
damage, therefore:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine.
2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
