FORD 2011 F-150 v.1 - Manual (Page 77)

•
: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, de-mister
vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents. The system will
automatically provide outside air to reduce window fogging.
To return to full automatic control, press AUTO on the main bezel.
Fan Speed: Press to decrease/increase the fan speed.
Dual: Press to activate/deactivate separate driver and passenger
temperature controls.
Max A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press MAX A/C again for
normal operation.

Operating tips
• 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 not more than 2-3 minutes after start up to “air out” the vehicle.
• For maximum cooling performance when using Max A/C or
(recirculated air), all windows and doors should remain closed.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and idling
for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C
in the MAX A/C mode, adjust the blower fan speed to the lowest setting
and put the vehicle’s transmission in P (Park) to continue to receive cool
air from your A/C system.
