FORD 2013 Fiesta v.1 - Manual (Page 114)

Select to distribute air through the windshield air vents. You
can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a
thin covering of ice. You can also increase the temperature and
fan speed to improve clearing.
C. Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select
MAX A/C, the system distributes recirculated air through the instrument
panel air vents. This mode is more economical and efficient than normal
air conditioning.
D. Rear defroster: Press to switch the rear defroster on. Refer to
Heated windows and mirrors later in this chapter for more
information.
E. Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates
and the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
F. Air conditioning: Press the button to switch the air conditioning on
or off. Air conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve
air conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows
slightly open for two to three minutes.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog
up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt 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 reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust
the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Increase
the temperature and fan speed to improve clearing if required.
