Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (Eatc) System (If Equipped); Turning The Eatc On - Ford 2002 F-150 Owner's Manual

Climate Controls
• Do not put objects under the front seat which may interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce visibility through your windshield. Avoid
placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects
may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition
to, damaging the climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select the position that distributes air through the Panel and Floor.
2. Set the temperature control to full heat.
3. Set the fan speed to full fan.
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows.
5. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
