FORD 2013 Edge v.1 - Manual (Page 151)

E. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
F. A/C: Press the button to turn air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning
cools the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
Note: A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.
G. AUTO: Press the button to turn on fully automatic operation. Select
the desired temperature using the temperature control. The system
automatically determines fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and
outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the
selected temperature.
H. Rear defrost: Turns the heated rear window on and off. Refer to
Heated rear window later in this chapter for more information. If your
vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button turns them on also.
I. Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
de-mister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
Manual Heating and Air Conditioning System
• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, select
Defrost. Temperature and/or fan speed can also be increased to
improve clearing.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been aired out.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
