Tips For Controlling The Temperature In Your Vehicle - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

Tips for Controlling the Temperature in
Your Vehicle
To adjust the temperature inside your vehicle,
use the temperature control lever. Move the
control between red (warm) and blue (cool)
for comfort.
Do not drive with the air inlet selector lever
in the "recirculate" position (MAX A/C on
heating and air conditioning systems or
RECIRC on heating only systems). Driving
with the climate control system in this mode
may cause severe window fogging.
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the
area below the windshield on the outside of
your vehicle. They could block the air intake.
Under normal conditions, the system should
be left in PANEL, PNL/FLR, FLOOR,
FLR/DEF, or the defrost position. This allows
the vehicle to "breathe" through the air vents.
To prevent fogging of the windshield in cool
and humid weather, set the function selector
lever to the defrost position before starting
the engine.
