Climate Control


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. Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield. Note: To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the windows fully open until you feel cold air through the air vents.


Heating the Interior Quickly


Vehicle with manual climate control Adjust the fan speed to a high speed setting. Adjust the temperature control to the highest setting. Select the footwell air vents using the air distribution buttons.


Manual Climate Control Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Automatic Climate Control Note: Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not necessary. The system automatically adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your selected temperature as quickly as possible. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents should be fully open. Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside temperatures, the system directs airflow to the windshield and side window vents. In addition, the fan may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up. Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside temperatures, or when the inside of the vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses recirculated air to maximize interior cooling. When the interior reaches the selected temperature, the system automatically switches to using outside air.

Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. CABIN AIR FILTER Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, which gives you and your passengers the following benefits: •


It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration. It improves the interior compartment cleanliness. It protects the climate control components from particle deposits. You can locate the cabin air filter behind the glove box. Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the system. Replace the filter at regular intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 498).



HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS (If Equipped) Heated Rear Window Note: Make sure the engine is running before operating the heated windows. Press the button to clear the heated rear window of thin ice and fog. The heated rear window


will automatically turn off after a short period of time. Start the engine before you switch the heated rear window on. Note: Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean or remove decals from the inside of the heated rear window. The vehicle warranty does not cover damage caused to the heated rear window grid lines. Heated Exterior Mirror When you switch the heated rear window on, the heated exterior mirrors will automatically turn on. Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass when it is frozen in place.

Seats


SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION


WARNINGS


Sitting improperly, out of position or with the seatback reclined too far can take weight off the seat cushion and affect the decision of the passenger sensing system, resulting in serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Always sit upright against your seat back, with your feet on the floor.


Do not recline the seatback as this can cause the occupant to slide under the safety belt, resulting in


serious injury in the event of a crash.


Do not place objects higher than the seatback to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash or during


heavy braking.


When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, safety belt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a crash.


F-150 (TFC), enUSA, Third Printing


We recommend that you follow these guidelines: •


Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as possible.


• Do not recline the seatback more than


30 degrees.


• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of your head and as far forward as possible. Make sure that you remain comfortable. Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We recommend a minimum of 10 in (25 cm) between your breastbone and the airbag cover.



• Hold the steering wheel with your arms


slightly bent. Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.



• Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.


Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can maintain full control of your vehicle. HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS


Fully adjust the head restraint before you sit in or operate your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck


injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraint when your vehicle is moving.


The head restraint is a safety device. Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when


the seat is occupied. An improperly adjusted head restraint may not adequately protect an occupant during an impact from the rear.
