ECO mode Mercury Villager 2002 s User Guide

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to
12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.
CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
•Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
•Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or
extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme
temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
•Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole
and turning the hub.
•Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
•Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not
being played.

The air condition operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is
depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 4°C (40°F) 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.
•MAX A/C–Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is
noisier than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside
of the vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will
automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or
higher and the
A/Cindicator will automatically light. Airflow will be
from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to
prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel)–Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push
A/Cto cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
•OFF–Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel and floor)–Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating
and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/C
in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. 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 front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent
to the instrument panel registers.
•
(Floor)–Distributes outside air through the front and rear floor
ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push

temperature.
Operating tips
•In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
Defrost mode before driving. This will reduce fogging on your
windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.

•(Defrost) - 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 4°C (40°F) or higher, the air conditioner
will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
•
(Panel) - Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push

•
(Panel and floor) - Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push

comfort, when the temperature control is anywhere in between the
full hot and full cold, the air distributed through the front and rear
floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument

•
(Floor) - Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/Cto cool the vehicle
below the outside temperature.
•MAX A/C - Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is
noisier than
A/CA/C but more economical and will cool the inside of
the vehicle faster. After pressing the MAX control, both the MAX
and
A/CA/C indicators will light and the airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. In this mode, the air conditioning will
automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or
higher.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air using override controls
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air using just the A/C
override control is quieter but less economical than using both the A/C
and the MAX control. It also has less cooling capacity and is not
recommended for high outside temperatures.
In order to cool your vehicle with outside air using the override controls:
1. Select the override control
,or.
2. Press
A/C. The indicator light onA/Cwill illuminate.
3. Select the desired temperature for your comfort level.
4. Adjust the fan speed override knob to the position of your choice.

HOMELINK
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver’s visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink
at:www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomelinkUniversal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this section.

•Nearby radio towers
•Structures around the vehicle
•Other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin between the two
halves of the transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Place the positive (+) side of new
battery up. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back
together.

completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
After any vehicle collision, the front passenger and rear outboard
seat belt systems must be checked by a qualified technician to
verify that the“automatic locking retractor”feature for child seats is
still functioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked
for proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if
the seat belt assembly“automatic locking retractor”feature or
any other seat belt function is not operating properly when checked
according to the procedures in Workshop Manual.
Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor assembly could
increase the risk of injury in collisions.
