FORD 1999 Taurus - Manual (Page 27)

•
-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode.
The air will be heated or cooled based on the
temperature selection. For added customer comfort,
the air distributed through the floor ducts will be
slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument
panel registers.
• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle.
The temperature will remain unchanged and air will
be cooled based on the selected temperature. To
exit, press AUTOMATIC or any other override
controls. MAX A/C is noisier than normal A/C but
more economical and will cool the inside of the
vehicle faster. Airflow is from the instrument panel
registers. This mode can also be used to prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not
operate. For short periods of time only, use this
mode to reduce undesirable odors from entering
the vehicle.
Displaying outside temperature
Press OUTSIDE TEMP
to display the outside
air temperature. It will
be displayed until
OUTSIDE TEMP is
pressed again or until
any other control is
pressed. When the
EATC system is off and OUTSIDE TEMP is pressed,
the outside temperature will only be displayed for
four seconds.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate
when the vehicle is moving. Higher readings may be
obtained when the vehicle is not moving. The
readings that you get may not agree with
temperatures given on the radio due to differences
in vehicle and station locations.
