Hints On Controlling The Interior Climate - Ford Ecosport 2013 Owner's Manual

A Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Rotate the control to select
the desired fan speed. The setting appears in the display.
B Adjust to select the desired air distribution. OFF turns off the system. Press the
recirculated air button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When
you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and the air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce the time needed to cool
the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
C Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust to select
the desired temperature. The setting appears in the display.
D Press the button to switch the air conditioning on and off. Air conditioning cools
your vehicle using outside air or recirculated air. To improve air conditioning
when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes and select recirculated air.
E Press the button to defog and clear the rear screen of a thin covering of mist.
F Press the button to select automatic operation. The system automatically
controls the temperature, amount and distribution of the air to reach and
maintain your previously selected temperature.
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.
