FORD 2013 Edge v.3 - Manual (Page 149)

A. CLIMATE: Press to turn the climate control system off and on. When
the system is off, outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
B. AUTO: Press to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
determines fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected
temperature.
C. Rear defrost: Turns the heated windows and mirrors off and on. See
Heated windows and mirrors later in this chapter for more
information. If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button
turns them on also.
D. Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
E. A/C: Press to turn air conditioning off and on. Air conditioning cools
the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note: A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.
F. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
G. Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected
or can be turned on manually in any airflow mode except Defrost.
Note: For better cooling in hot conditions, recirculated air automatically
engages Panel or Panel/Floor modes and the air conditioning is on. You
can switch to fresh air by pressing the recirculated air button again.
H. DUAL: Allows the passenger to set their temperature independent of
the driver temperature.
I. Passenger temperature control: Press + or - to increase or decrease
the air temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle when in dual
zone mode.
J. Fan speed control: Press + or - to increase or decrease the volume
of air circulated in your vehicle.
