The system controls the
temperature, amount and distribution
of the air flow automatically and
adjusts them according to the driving
and weather conditions. Pressing the
AUTO button once switches on the
auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is either a
dual- or triple-zone automatic climate
control. When the system is in mono
mode, all the temperature zones are
linked to the driver's zone. When you
switch mono mode off, the dual-zone
system allows you to set different
temperatures for the driver's and
front passenger's side. On vehicles
with a triple-zone system, you can
set a third temperature for the rear.
Note:
Avoid adjusting the settings
when the vehicle interior is extremely
hot or cold. The automatic climate
control adjusts to the current
circumstances automatically. For the
system to function properly, the side
and centre vents should be fully
open.
Note:
The sunload sensor is located
on top of the instrument panel. Do
not cover the sensor with any
objects.
Note:
At low outside temperatures,
when the system is in auto mode, the
air stream will be directed to the
windscreen and the side windows as
long as the engine is cold.
Note:
A description of the Ford
DVD-Navigation System in
combination with the automatic
climate control is provided in the
separate manual.
Setting the temperature
You can set the temperature
between 16ºC and 28ºC in steps of
0.5ºC. In position LO (below 16ºC) the
system will switch to permanent
cooling, in HI (above 28ºC) to
permanent heating, and not regulate
a stable temperature.
Mono mode
In mono mode, the temperature
settings for both the driver’s and
passenger’s side are linked. If you
adjust the temperature using the
rotary control on the driver’ s side, the
settings will be adjusted to the same
setting on the passenger’s side. In
mono mode, MONO appears in the
display.
To switch mono mode off
Select a temperature for the
passenger’s side with the rotary
control on the passenger’s side.
Mono mode will switch off and
MONO disappears from the display.
The temperature for the driver’ s side
will remain unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently of each
another. The temperature settings
for each side are shown in the
display. You can set a temperature
difference of up to 4ºC.
