Climate Control -> Principle of Operation for Your Ford Kuga SUV Second Generation (2013-2018)

Climate Control  
Air Conditioning  
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION  
Outside Air  
The system directs air through the  
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator  
extracts humidity from the air to help keep  
the windows free of mist. The system  
directs the resulting condensation to the  
outside of your vehicle, which may cause  
a small pool to form under your vehicle.  
This is normal.  
Keep the air intakes in front of the  
windshield free from obstruction (such as  
snow or leaves) to allow the climate  
control system to function effectively.  
Recirculated Air  
WARNING  
Prolonged use of recirculated air may  
cause the windows to mist up. If the  
windows mist up, follow the settings  
for demisting the windshield.  
Note: The air conditioning operates only  
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).  
Note: When you use air conditioning, your  
vehicle uses more fuel.  
AIR VENTS  
Center  
The air currently in the passenger  
compartment recirculates. Outside air does  
not enter your vehicle.  
Heating  
Heating performance depends on the  
temperature of the engine coolant.  
GeneralInformationonControlling

Warming the Interior  
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or  
humid weather conditions, direct some of  
the air toward the windshield and the door  
windows.
