The Climate Control Systems Your vehicle is equipped with a control assembly designed to handle either a combination A/C-Heater System or a Heater-Only System. Instrument Panel Registers

There are four registers in the instrument panel. Each of these registers contain a louver assembly which can be manually adjusted to direct airflow up, down, left, right, and positive shut-off. An illustration of the register locations follows.

Instrument panel registers Air Conditioner and Heater (If equipped)

The control for your air conditioning and heater system is located at the center of the instrument panel below the radio and will operate only when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. Your air conditioner and heater will heat and/or cool your vehicle interior depending on the function position and temperature you select. The function selector control knob allows you to select heating or cooling and determine where the air will be directed. The temperature control knob setting determines the temperature of the air that flows into the vehicle.

To turn your air conditioner and heater system on, select any position except OFF. This will turn the fan on and allow airflow into the vehicle. To turn your air conditioner and heater off, select OFF. This will turn the fan off and stop airflow from coming into the vehicle.

Temperature selection

The temperature knob is the rotating knob located at the center of of the control with tapered RED and BLUE bands surrounding most of the knob. The wide RED part of the band (full right) is the heat or warmer area. The wide BLUE area (full left) is the cooling or cool temperature area. Any position selected between full right and full left will give a temperature between the two extreme temperatures.

H Fan speed adjustment

The H knob on the control is the fan speed knob which controls the volume of air flow. Rotate the H knob to the right to increase the amount of air entering the vehicle. Four fan speed positions are available and are indicated by LO, two separate dots and HI beside the H control knob. The HI position provides the most air flow.

Airflow selections

VENT

Use VENT to bring outside air through the instrument panel registers. You can heat the air in this position by rotating the center knob into the RED area. The air CANNOT be cooled below the outside temperature regardless of the center knob setting. Select NORM A/C or MAX A/C to get cool air through the instrument panel registers.

NORM A/C Select NORM A/C to get refrigerated outside air through the instrument panel registers. The A/C position is used for cooling except when it is extremely hot or fast cooling of the vehicle is needed. Then, select MAX A/C for fast cooling and return to NORM A/C when you are comfortable. MAX A/C The MAX A/C position produces cool air more rapidly to provide faster cooling of your vehicle. This 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. FLOOR Air flow will be to the floor when FLOOR is selected. The air cannot be cooled in the FLOOR position but can be heated by rotating the center knob in the RED area. MIX Select MIX to get air to the floor and windshield defrosters at the same time. If the outside temperature is about 50˚ (10˚C) or warmer, the air will also be dehumidified to remove moisture. This feature will help prevent fogging in humid weather. The air can be cooled or heated. V DEF Select V DEF to obtain maximum air flow to the windshield.

NOTE: If your speed increases above your set speed while driving in j (Overdrive) on a downhill grade, you may want to depress the transmission control switch located on the shift lever to turn off overdrive to reduce vehicle speed. Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it goes above your set speed on a downhill grade. For the best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, leave the shift select in j (Overdrive), or resume as soon as practical.

RWARNING

Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, slippery, or unpaved.

In mountainous areas, at higher elevations, or when pulling a trailer, the speed control may not be able to maintain the preset speed with the transmission in overdrive.

If your vehicle comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, you may prefer to drive in 4
(Fourth) gear, in mountainous areas or at high altitudes, to improve speed control performance.

In order to downshift (with a manual transmission) with the speed control operating, you must press either the brake or clutch pedal long enough to disengage the speed control. Wait a second before depressing the clutch again and making the shift so that the speed control can fully return to the idle position.

Accelerating With the Speed Control Operating

You can use the accelerator pedal to speed up momentarily. When you take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle will return to the set speed. Resetting the Speed Control

To reset the speed control to a lower speed, press and hold the COAST switch. Let your vehicle slow down to the desired speed and release the COAST switch.

Your vehicle has a “tap-down” feature that allows you to decrease your current speed in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a momentary tap of the COAST switch. Multiple taps of the COAST switch will decrease your vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap. For example, if you are currently set at 65 mph (104 km/h) and tap the COAST switch 5 times your vehicle speed will decrease and set at 60 mph (96 km/h).

To reset the speed control to a higher speed, you can follow any of these procedures: q Accelerate to the desired speed using the

accelerator pedal, then press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately.

q Press and hold the SET ACCEL switch until the vehicle accelerates to the desired speed, then release the switch.

q TAP-UP — This allows you to increase your

current speed in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a momentary tap of the SET-ACCEL switch. Multiple taps of the SET-ACCEL switch will increase your vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap. For example, if you are currently set at 60 mph (96 km/h) and tap the SET-ACCEL switch 5
times your vehicle speed will increase and set at 65 mph (104 km/h).

Turning the Speed Control Off

You can cancel the speed control while you are driving. q Press the OFF switch. The speed control is off. If you want to resume speed control, press the ON switch and reset the speed control by pressing the SET ACCEL button. q Press the clutch pedal slightly (if equipped). The speed control is suspended, but you can reset it by pressing SET ACCEL or return to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch.

q Press the brake pedal slightly. The speed

control is suspended, but you can reset it by pressing SET ACCEL or return to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch.

In addition, the speed control is turned off each time you turn the vehicle off.

Driving uphill or on a steep grade When the speed control is on, your vehicle may significantly drop speed when driving uphill, especially with a heavy load. If the speed drops more than 8 to 14 mph (15 - 25 km/h) the automatic speed control will, by design, be canceled. You may have to temporarily resume manual speed control while driving up a steep grade in order to maintain the speed you desire. Frequent shifting of an automatic transmission or speed loss during speed control operation can be eliminated by shifting out of overdrive into drive (or by pressing the Transmission Control Switch, if equipped). These conditions could occur in hilly terrain or at higher elevations. If the speed control “dropped out” after your climb is completed, the speed of your vehicle can be reset with the SET ACCEL switch, or returned to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch, as long as you are driving over 30 mph (50 km/h).

Cancelling and Resuming a Set Speed If you press the brake pedal, the speed control is cancelled. You can return to the speed you set by using the RSM switch, as long as you did not press the OFF switch. To resume the speed you had before, you must be driving at least 30 mph (50 km/h). Press and release the RESUME switch. Your vehicle gradually returns to the previously set speed and then maintains it.

RWARNING

If your vehicle has speed control, do not use it on slippery roads. You could lose control of your vehicle and could injure someone.

Use a coin or similar object to pry the spring clip (on each upper cable connector) past the head of the support screw. Doing so will allow you to center the wider opening in the connector over the screw head and disconnect it.

If you disconnect the upper end of each cable, you can lower the tailgate completely.

NOTE: Step bumpers or hitches may damage the tailgate if it is lowered completely.

Releasing the tailgate

Tailgate removal

First release the tailgate as described above. Be sure to support the left side to prevent it from falling. Then raise the tailgate to a 45 degree angle (see the following illustration) and lift the right side of the tailgate off its hinge.

Replacing the batteries

The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease in operating range, the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

NOTE: The operating range of the remote

entry system can also be affected by weather conditions (such as very cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.

Opening the remote transmitter

The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART. When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive (+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together.

Replacing the batteries

Replacing lost transmitters

In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter.

You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program them to the remote entry system all at the same time. Illuminated Entry System (If equipped)

This system will provide illumination of the vehicle’s interior courtesy lamps when either outside front door handle is pulled or when the Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the START or ACCESSORY position.

NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off if

you have turned them on with the dimmer knob or if any door is open.

Automatic Dimming Inside Rearview Mirror (If equipped)

Automatic dimming inside rearview mirror

This mirror is equipped with an electrochromic glare control feature that automatically darkens the mirror, reducing glare from the headlamps of vehicles behind you. A forward facing light sensor measures the ambient light just as your eyes do. When the rear facing light sensor in the glass senses glare, such as from following headlights, it energizes a chemical layer in the glass causing it to darken and absorb light. As the glare subsides, the mirror glass returns to its normal clear state.

To turn the mirror on, push the On/Off switch, located on the bottom of the mirror, to latch it in the ON position. The button will be latched in the up position and at night a low intensity green light will be visible from the button when the mirror is turned on. To turn the mirror off, push the On/Off switch again and the button will unlatch shutting off the light and the mirror will be off.

Demonstration — The mirror’s operation may be demonstrated by simulating glare as follows:

1. Cover the forward facing sensor, located on

the right side of the mirror back, with a dark (preferably black) cloth. Hold the dark cloth over the sensor until you notice the mirror glass start to darken to the non-glare state. If the surrounding lighting conditions are too dark it may be necessary to shine additional lighting, such as from a flashlight, on the rearward sensor located on the glass face.

2. Remove the cloth (and shut off the flashlight if applicable) and the glass will return to the clear reflective stage.

One important safety feature is that the mirror automatically returns to the normal position whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position). This feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up.
