Engine Idle Speed Control System Genuine Ford air conditioning (either factory-installed or dealer-installed) has an engine idle speed control system that compensates for engine speed loss that may occur when the air conditioning compressor is running. This idle speed control holds the engine idle essentially constant, regardless of whether the air conditioning system is on or off. NOTE: Whenever service to the air conditioning system is required, make sure the service facility uses a refrigerant recycling system. These systems will capture the refrigerant for reuse. Releasing certain refrigerants into the atmosphere is hazardous to the environment. Rear Window Defroster (If equipped) (Standard in Canada) Rear window defroster button The defroster for the rear window clears frost, fog, or thin ice from both the inside and outside of the rear window. The rear window defroster button is located on the lower right of the instrument panel below the climate control panel. This button is also used to activate your heated power mirrors (if equipped). 71
