Ford 2002 F-150 Automobile User Manual


 
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather conditions,
dont drive with the climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C
position.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather conditions,
dont drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.
Under normal weather conditions, your vehicles climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to breathe
through the outside air inlet duct.
Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicles climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the windows
open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once the
vehicle has been aired out, operate the climate control system as desired.
Dont put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select PNL FLR
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Set the fan speed control to HI
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
