Get Climate control Guide for Ford Fiesta 4 Door Fifth Generation (2003-2008)

Climate control

Air is directed through the evaporator

where it is cooled. Humidity is

extracted from the air to help keep

the windows free of mist. The

resulting condensation is directed to

the outside of the vehicle and it is

therefore normal if you see a small

pool of water under your vehicle.

PRINCIPLE OF

OPERATION

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of the

windscreen free from obstruction

(snow, leaves etc.) to allow the

climate control system to function

effectively.

General information on

controlling the interior

climate

Recirculated air

CAUTION

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Prolonged use of recirculated air

may cause the windows to mist

up. If the windows mist up, follow the

settings for defrosting and demisting

the windscreen.

Direct the air towards your feet. In

cold or humid weather conditions,

direct some of the air towards the

windscreen and the door windows.

The air currently in the passenger

compartment will be recirculated.

Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.

Heating

AIR VENTS

Heating performance depends on

the temperature of the engine

coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates

only when the temperature is above

4ºC (39ºF).

Note:If you use the air conditioning,

the fuel consumption of your vehicle

will be higher.
