the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically adjusts
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.
G
AUTO:
Press the button to switch on. Recirculated air flows through
the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically adjusts
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING
THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of
air 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:
Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Do not adjust the settings when
your vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The system automatically adjusts
to the previously stored settings. For
the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures
with AUTO selected, the system directs
air toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine
remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.
139
MKZ (CC9) Climate Control

Note:
When the system is in AUTO
mode, and the interior and exterior
temperatures are high, the system
automatically selects recirculated air
to maximize cooling of the interior.
When the system reaches the selected
air temperature, it automatically
switches to outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the
instrument panel and footwell level
functions automatically switch off and
air conditioning switches on. Outside
air flows into your vehicle.

sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove
decals from the inside of the rear
window. This may cause damage
to the heated grid lines, which your
warranty does not cover.
Heated Exterior Mirror
Note: Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it has frozen
in place. These actions could cause
damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note: Do not clean the housing or
glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.

MKZ (CC9) Climate Control

Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
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.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
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 Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START
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 need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 103).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote
Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C
> Auto. The climate control system
automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.
141
MKZ (CC9) Climate Control

In cold weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). The heated seats and
heated steering wheel are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in
the information display). The rear
defroster and heated mirrors
automatically turn on.
Last Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate using the last climate control
settings through the information
display setting: Remote Start >
Climate Control > Heater
–A/C > Last
Settings. The climate control system
automatically uses the settings last
selected before turning off the vehicle.
Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls
other heated and cooled devices
inside the vehicle. These devices (if
available and selected to AUTO in the
information displays) may switch on
during remote start. Heated devices
typically switch on during cold
weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather.

section of the Settings menu.
Frequently asked questions Answer
Question
The high voltage battery is electricallyisolated from the rest of the vehicle
when the key is off. When you turn the key to on, high voltage contactors
inside the battery are closed to make
the electricity available to the motor/ generator and enable the vehicle to
drive. The clicks are the sound of these contactors as they close and open during start up and shut down.
What are the series of clicks from the
cargo area when I first turn the key in the ignition?
The vehicle's computer will determine
if an engine start is required at key-on.Silent key start will start the engine if
it is necessary for cabin heating, wind- shield defrost, or if the outside temperature is low.
Why does the engine sometimes start
at key-on?
There are several reasons the enginestays on for an extended amount of time when you first start it. One
common reason is to ensure that the emissions components are warm
enough to minimize tailpipe emissions.
As the climate gets cooler, this engine- on time is extended.
Why does it take a long time before
the engine shuts down?
The engine is required to turn on above
this speed to protect the transmissionhardware.
Why does my engine never shut down
above 85 mph (137 km/h)?
