WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

- the defrost/panel/floor mode door directs airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor can operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
