FORD 2000 Windstar - Manual (Page 34)

Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using recirculated air. It also has less cooling capacity.
In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:
1. Turn the mode selector to (panel), (panel and floor) or
(floor).
2. Press the A/C (A/C) control. The indicator light next to the A/C (A/C)
control will illuminate.
3. Slide the temperature control knob to the left.
4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Operating tips
• In humid weather, select
before driving. This will reduce fogging
on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.
• To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
• Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
