Climate Controls 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 MAX A/C again for normal operation. VOICE COMMANDS IN CLIMATE MODE Please refer to the Voice commands in climate mode section of the Navigation supplement for more information on using voice commands with the climate control system. Operating tips • To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, select (defrost). Temperature and/or fan speed can also be increased to improve clearing. • To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the system off or with (recirculated air) engaged. • Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the airflow to the back seats. • Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield. • To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open for not more than 2-3 minutes after start up to "air out" the vehicle. • For maximum cooling performance when using Max A/C or (recirculated air), all windows and doors should remain closed. • A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the air distribution setting that is selected. If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in the MAX A/C mode, adjust the blower fan speed to the lowest setting and put the vehicle's transmission in P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from your A/C system. For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C): 1. Press MAX A/C. The system will default to single zone operation and set the temperature to 60°F (16°C). The blower will automatically go to maximum. 2. A/C, (recirculated air) and (panel) will be selected. 3. Fan speed can be adjusted as desired. 80 2011 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
