Get Climate Control Guide for Ford Ecosport SUV 2020

Climate Control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

AIR VENTS

Outside Air

Center Air Vents

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.

Recirculated Air

The air currently in the passenger

compartment recirculates. Outside air does

not enter your vehicle.

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.

Heating

Side Air Vents

Heating performance depends on the

temperature of the coolant.

GeneralInformationonControlling

the Interior Climate

Close 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.

Air Conditioning

The system directs condensation to the

outside of your vehicle, which could cause

a small pool of water 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.
