Climate Control PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Outside Air 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. Air Conditioning 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. 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. 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. The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. Outside air does not enter your vehicle. AIR VENTS To close a vent, slide the airflow direction adjuster down. Center Air Vents Heating Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant. General Information on Controlling the Interior Climate Fully close all the windows. 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. Cooling the Interior Direct the air toward your face. E169287 Side Air Vent E169288 88 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014, Third Printing
