Automatic climate control
operation (recommended)
If the system is in AUTO mode, the
automatic climate control will manage
the changes between fresh air mode
and recirculated air mode to optimise
cabin comfort. It is advised that the
vehicle be left in automatic mode, at
the desired temperature. The system
will maintain the interior temperature
depending on the conditions.
Manual operation
Pressing this button will alternate
between fresh and recirculated air
modes. A graphic indicating the selected
mode will appear on the Interior
Command Centre screen.
In normal circumstances,
the fresh air mode should
be selected to maintain the
quality of air inside the vehicle, to prevent
the build-up of stale air or odours and to
reduce windscreen misting. To ensure
optimum air quality, it is not advisable
to select recirculated air mode for
extended periods of time.
Climate control
recirculated air mode can also be used
to allow the air conditioner to more
effectively cool the vehicle's cabin. Do
not use the recirculated air mode if
the vehicle occupants are smoking as
tobacco odours may remain.
Your air selector system is fitted with a
fine mesh filter to exclude leaf debris,
dust and dirt. A pollen filter is also
available, as an accessory item, from
your Authorised Ford Dealer.
air mode may lead to a reduction in air
quality in the cabin. The air in the cabin
should be periodically refreshed by
selecting fresh air mode.
Note: Under some weather conditions,
use of the recirculated air mode
may lead to glass misting or fogging.
Windscreen demist mode is the
most efficient setting for demisting
the windscreen and side windows.
This mode automatically controls the
heat and fan settings. If further demist
performance is needed, the temperature
set point should be raised and the fan
speed increased.
Note: If the Recirculated air graphic is
displayed continuously on the Interior
Command Centre screen with no
other climate control graphic displayed,
regardless of any Climate Control
selections, a Climate Control electrical
fault has occurred. In this event, please
contact your Authorised Ford Dealer.
