2006 Ford Focus ZX5

The Ford Focus's climate control system is a simple manual affair with rubber rotary twist knobs controlling temperature, fan speed, and air flow. Auxiliary functions for air conditioning, recirculation, and rear defogger are handled by buttons arrayed under the main control knobs. Our test car had seat heaters activated by buttons on the center console.
