500 MyFord Touch® (If Equipped) D. Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle. Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency. E. MAX A/C: Touch the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed. F. A/C: Touch the button to switch the air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Note: In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button G. AUTO: Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the desired temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature. You can also use the AUTO button to switch off dual zone operation by touching and holding the button for more than two seconds. H. Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated windows and mirrors in the Climate Control chapter. I. Defrost: Touch the button to distribute air to the windshield vents and de-mister. Air distribution to instrument panel and footwell vents turn off. You can use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. J. Manual controls: Touch these buttons to switch airflow from the windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can distribute air through any combination of these vents. Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when MAX Defrost is on. 2015 Taurus Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, April 2014 USA (fus)
