Climate Control for your Ford Ecosport 2012-2022
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.
