FORD 1998 F-150 - Manual (Page 26)

Operating tips
• In humid weather, select DEF
before driving. This will
prevent your windshield from
fogging. After a few minutes,
select any desired position.
• To prevent humidity buildup
inside the vehicle, don’t drive
with the climate control system
in the OFF position.
• Don’t put objects under the
front seat that will interfere with
the airflow to the back seats (if
eqipped).
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
• If your vehicle has been parked
with the windows closed during
hot weather, the air conditioner
will do a much faster job of
cooling if you drive for two or
three minutes with the windows
open. This will force most of the
hot, stale air out of the vehicle.
Then operate your air
conditioner as you would
normally.
• When placing objects on top of
your instrument panel, be
careful to not place them over
the defroster outlets. These
objects can block airflow and
