FORD 2002 F-150 v.3 - Manual (Page 56)

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than OFF position when
the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the
outside air inlet duct.
• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
• Do not place objects under the front seat which may interfere with
the airflow to the rear seats.
• Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air intake area (at the base
of the windshield and underneath the hood).
• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects may
block airflow and reduce your visibility through the windshield. Avoid
placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects
can fall into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition to,
damaging your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
