Climate Controls 3. Fan speed adjustment: Controls the volume of air circulated in the vehicle. For optimum defrosting performance, set the dial to at least the 3 or 4 position near the (defrost) symbol. 4. Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation in the vehicle cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time required to cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air will not function in (defrost). 5. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages automatically in (defrost). Operating tips • To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, select (defrost) and set the fan speed dial to the 3 or 4 position near the (defrost) symbol. Also, set the temperature setting to the defrost symbol during cooler weather. • To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the system off or with (recirculated air) engaged and A/C off. • 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 time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been "aired out." 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 mode, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle's transmission into the P (Park) gear position to continue to receive cool air from your A/C system. For maximum cooling performance, select max A/C by doing the following: 1. Select the coolest temperature setting. 2. Select recirculation air mode. 3. Set the fan to the highest speed initially. As the interior starts to cool down, adjust the fan speed to maintain comfort and/or switch from recirculated air to outside air mode. 37 2010 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
