FORD 2001 Explorer - Manual (Page 32)

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
• If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
• Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
Rear console climate controls (if equipped)
Depending on the equipment
package of your vehicle, the rear
console may be equipped with rear
console audio/climate controls.
The instrument panel climate controls must be on in order for the rear
console climate controls to work.
Turn the air distribution control to the desired airflow position.
