FORD 2014 Escape v.3 - Manual (Page 107)

Recirculated air: Press to switch from outside air to recirculated air. When you
select recirculated air, the air currently in the passenger compartment
recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used
with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculated air turns on automatically when you select MAX A/C, or manually
in any airflow mode except defrost. Recirculated air may turn off automatically
in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog potential. Press the control
again to switch off recirculated air and allow fresh air to enter into the vehicle. F
Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister
vents. The system automatically provides outside air to reduce window fogging.
Press again to switch off defrost mode. G
Instrument panel: Press to distribute air through the instrument panel vents.
Press again to switch off panel mode. H
Floor: Distributes air through the demister vents and front and rear seat floor
vents. Press again to switch off floor mode. I
A/C: Press to switch air conditioning on or off. Use with recirculated air to
improve cooling performance and efficiency. Air conditioning also turns on
automatically in some modes. J

You can set the temperature between
60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C) in steps
of 1°F (0.5°C). In position LO, 59°F (15°C),
the system switches to permanent cooling.
In position HI, 86°F (30°C), the system
switches to permanent heating.
Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver's side and passenger's side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver’s side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger’s side.
Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger’s
side using the rotary control on the
passenger’s side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver’s side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the
driver's side and passenger's side
temperatures independently. The display
shows the temperature settings for each
side.
