Get Climate Controls -> Dual automatic temperature control Guide for Ford Fusion 4 Door First Generation (2006-2012)

Climate Controls

During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for

extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in

the MAX A/C position, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting

and put the vehicle’s transmission into the P (Park) gear position

(automatic transmission only) to continue to receive cool air from your

A/C system.

For maximum cooling performance in MAX A/C mode:

1. Select MAX A/C.

2. Select the coolest temperature setting.

3. Set the fan to the highest speed initially. As the interior starts to cool

down, adjust the fan speed to maintain comfort.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:

1. Select

2. Select A/C.

3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.

5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.

To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents

located in the middle of the instrument panel.

The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow distribution,

A/C on or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle

to reach the desired temperature. Turn to increase/decrease the

temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. The control also adjusts

the passenger side temperature when PASS TEMP is disengaged. The

recommended initial setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C),

then adjust for comfort. The driver side temperature setting will appear

in the upper left corner of the display.

Rear defroster: Press to activate/deactivate the rear window

defroster. The button will also activate/deactivate the heated mirrors (if

equipped). Refer to Rear window defroster later in this chapter for

more information.

Defrost: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog and

thin ice. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce

window fogging. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow

selection. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.

Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Press to

activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. See Heated seats in the

Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

11.

Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation in

the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to

cool down the interior of the vehicle, when used with A/C, and may also

help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.

Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can

be engaged manually in any airflow mode except

(defrost).

Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except

MAX A/C. When the ignition switch is turned off and back on, the

climate system will return to the recirculated air mode only if the A/C

button LED is illuminated and the air distribution selection is

either

(panel) or

(panel/floor).

12. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel

vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more

economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce

undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button

again for normal A/C operation.

13. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with

recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages

automatically in MAX A/C,

(defrost) and

(floor/defrost).

14. Driver heated seat control (if equipped): Press to

activate/deactivate the driver heated seat. See Heated seats in the

Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

Outside temperature: The outside temperature will appear in the

display and is labeled EXT TEMP.

Temperature conversion: To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius,

refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.
