Lincoln Continental (2002) [36/232] Climate controls

Displaying outside temperature

Press EXT to display the outside air

temperature. It will be displayed

until EXT is pressed again.

If the selected temperature is

changed while the outside

temperature is displayed, the new

temperature will be displayed for

four seconds after it is changed,

then the outside temperature will

return to the window.

If a manual override function is selected while the outside temperature is

displayed, the new function will be displayed for four seconds after it is

changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along

with the override selection.

The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is

moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not

moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures

given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.

Operating tips

• In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in DEF

before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the

windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as

desired.

• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather

conditions, don’t 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, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF

position.

• Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s 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 vehicle’s 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.
