ADDITIONAL HEATER  
(where provided)  
In winter, the climate control system  
must be turned on at least once  
a month for about 10 minutes.  
Have the system inspected at a Ford  
Dealership before the summer.  
This device speeds up passenger  
compartment warming when  
it is very cold. The additional heater  
turns off automatically after reaching  
the required comfort conditions.  
Proceed as follows:  
rotate knob A to red section;  
rotate knob C to  
rotate knob D to

automatically depending on the  
environmental conditions and  
with engine started.  
IMPORTANT The climate control  
system is very useful for fast demisting  
because it dries the air. Adjust the  
controls as described above and press  
knob B to switch the climate control  
system on: the LED on the knob  
will light up.  
Manual climate control system  
The supplementary heater is activated  
automatically by turning A knob to the  
end of the red section and setting the  
fan (knob B) to at least the first speed.  
IMPORTANT The heater only works  
if the outside temperature and engine  
coolant temperature are low.  
The heater will not activate  
if the battery voltage is too low.
