FORD 2001 Windstar - Manual (Page 31)

• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than OFF 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 that 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.
• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the 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.
