To Ventilate Your Vehicle Using The Vents: - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

To ventilate your vehicle using the vents:

1. Be sure that the A/C is off.
2. Move the function selector lever to PANEL.
When PANEL is selected, outside air is
directed out the instrument panel registers.
3. Move the temperature control lever to the
blue (cool) area or to the desired
temperature.
4. Set the fan at the desired speed.
Bi-level operation:
1. Move the function selector lever to the
PNL/FLR position.
2. Turn on the air conditioning, if desired.
3. Move the temperature control lever to the
desired temperature.
NOTE: The temperature of the air coming
from the panel vents will be cooler
than the temperature of the air coming
from the floor vents. The difference in
temperatures can be controlled by
adjusting the temperature control lever.
The maximum difference in
temperatures will occur when the
temperature control lever is in the
center range (between the red [warm]
and blue [cool] positions). This feature
is especially useful on cool yet sunny
days, when the vehicle is warmed by
the sun yet you desire warmer air at
your feet.
4. Set the fan at the desired speed.
