MAX A/C
The MAX A/C position produces cool air more rapidly to
provide faster cooling of your vehicle. Thhis is possible because
cooler air is drawn from inside the passenger area and
refrigerated again instead of using warmer outside air. Using
inside air will also make the fan sound louder, which is normal
when using MAX A/C. The air flow will be from the
instrument panel registers.
Comfort tips
The following tips will help you to get the most satisfaction
from your climate control system.
In humid weather, select V DEF before starting your
engine. This will help to prevent windshield fogging. After a
few minutes of operation, you may select another function.
To prevent humidity buildup inside your vehicle, always
drive with the climate control system turned on.
Do not put objects under the front seats that interfere with
the flow of air to the back seat area.
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air intake area of
your heater and air conditioner system which could block
the air intake. The intake area is located at the bottom of the
windshield.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Your vehicle may have an air filter that removes pollen and
road dust from outside air before it is directed to the interior of
the vehicle. For maintenance of this filter, see Servicing Your
Contour.
