Climate Control on Gauge cluster

[LemonScent]

I've seen a few SHO's and tauri alike showing 4 tabs on the right hand side of the gauge cluster: entertainment, phone, nav., and climate. I just purchased a 14 SHO P/P about a month ago and mine shows only 3 (no climate)... am i missing something? or is there a way to send the climate option to the cluster some how. Thanks for any help.

Not sure, do you have an example? If you have MyFord Touch, maybe it can be enabled in Settings and sent to the gauge cluster?

Climate controls on the '14 SHO are detailed starting pg 496 of the OM.

I know someone else who also doesn't have climate in the gauge on a 14. I think they did away with it on 14s, wouldn't be the first time something was in the manual that didn't exist.

Yea, the 14 manual lists only 3 controls. I need to look at a 13 manual to see if there was a change made.

 

[LemonScent]

Confirmed. The 13 manual does in fact have the 4 controls... Interesting.

 

[SHOdded]

Wonder why they made that change? Not practical/underused perhaps?

 

[LemonScent]

That would mean there were 4 ways of accessing the climate controls on a 13 model: voice, Steering wheel, touch screen and the touch sensitive buttons below the screen. I guess that is a little overkill.

Agree on the overkill. Also if your 14 is missing the compass in the right display that was a mistake....they have a TSB out on it.

I'll look into it.
