Summary
Some 2020-2021 Ford
and Lincoln vehicles are equipped with an anti-fogging feature known as enhanced windshield anti fogging strategy (EWAFS). This feature automatically adjusts airflow in the cabin to prevent the windshield from fogging up and may be perceived by customers as irregular climate control functionality. To reduce fogging, the EWAFS functions include: the air condition (A/C) button may turn on and off automatically, recirculated air may turn off automatically in all air modes except MAX A/C, recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in various airflow modes in order to improve heating or cooling efficiency, and in auto climate control, high humidity conditions may automatically engage A/C compressor, increase blower motor speed and/or direct more air to windshield. Continue to monitor the Workshop Manual (WSM) for EWAFS updates.

SSM 50015 – 2020-2021 Various Vehicles – Enhanced Windshield Anti Fogging Strategy (EWAFS)
- OPTIMAL REFRIGERANT FOR R1234YF: Ensure proper maintenance of your automotive AC system with ZeroR Genuine R-1234yf refrigerant, specifically designed for R1234YF systems. Always verify compatibility to avoid damage to your vehicle’s AC components
- GREENER AC PERFORMANCE: ZeroR uses HFO-R1234YF refrigerant, a greener alternative to older car A/C refrigerants, with a lower global warming potential (GWP). It is an ideal choice for conscious car owners, while ensuring reliable AC performance
- RELIABLE REFRIGERANT ACCURACY: Get the precise amount of refrigerant you need with each 8-oz can. The car air conditioner refrigerant is measured by weight, not volume, ensuring accuracy. Most systems require 2-3 cans, making it easy to maintain your AC system
- NO MISTAKE TOOL COMPATIBILITY: ZeroR 1234 yf refrigerant cans feature a reverse-thread design, preventing accidental connections with incompatible tools. Simply connect your compatible tool by turning counterclockwise for a safe and secure refilling process
- STAY COMPLIANT WITH ZEROR: Each HFO-1234yf refrigerant can comes with a ZeroR service sticker, helping you label your vehicle’s AC system for future reference. Keep your system compliant with regulations and avoid confusion in future maintenance or service sessions
- OEM-Compatible R1234yf Refrigerant. Designed for vehicles manufactured after 2015 that require R1234yf refrigerant. Compatible with most factory A/C systems.
- 8 oz Recharge Can for Automotive Use. Lightweight 8 oz can is perfect for quick recharges. Ideal for cars, SUVs, and light trucks using R1234yf.
- Clean Cooling with Low GWP Formula. Environmentally friendly refrigerant with low global warming potential. A modern alternative to R-134a and other high-GWP gases.
- Compliant with SAE J2844 Standards. Meets professional standards for safety and performance. Trusted by mechanics and DIYers alike.
- Easy to Use – DIY or Professional. Use with standard R-1234yf recharge kits. Suitable for home garages, auto shops, and mobile mechanics.
- PERFORMANCE BOOSTER CHARGE KIT - ZeroR is a performance booster for use with R1234YF AC systems. You can use as many cans in your system as you wish, while being sure not to overfill the system with the included can tap with gauge.
- KIT CONTENTS - The can tap is 24 in length with a gauge metered for R1234YF systems. Standard R1234YF can taps will not work on ZeroR branded R1234YF cans, because our cans have a unique thread. 3 cans of ZeroR Permafrost in 4oz cans.
- NOT A Full Refrigerant - This product is a support fluid performance booster. It is a combination of two ZeroR products in one. The first part removes moisture (moisture can cause damage and reduced performance in the system), and the second part reduces friction (friction can reduce refrigerant flow and cause compressor damage)
- 24 in Charging Hose with Can Tap & Gauge - New longer 24 inch connection hose accomodates those harder to reach low side ports that were previously difficult to reach with a shorter 12 inch hose.
- 10 MINUTE INSTALL - Easy instructions are included and will take as little as 10 minutes to complete.
- READY-TO-USE RECHARGE KIT: This all-in-one AC refrigerant recharge kit includes everything you need: 1 can of R1234YF refrigerant and a 24" can tap with gauge. Whether you’re a DIYer or a professional, this kit ensures your AC system stays cool and smooth
- ACCESS HARD-TO-REACH PORTS: The 24-inch heavy-duty brass can tap with a gauge, making refilling your AC system easier. The R1234yf refrigerant kit’s extended hose reaches tight, hard-to-access low-side ports that shorter hoses can't, ensuring a hassle-free process
- ENSURE PEAK AC EFFICIENCY: This kit includes 1 AC recharge can of authentic HFO-R1234YF refrigerant, sourced from authorized suppliers in the USA. Designed for use in R1234YF systems, this refrigerant ensures your vehicle's AC operates at peak efficiency
- ERROR-FREE TOOL CONNECTIONS: The R1234yf refrigerant can tap features a reverse-thread design, ensuring only compatible tools connect to the R1234YF can. This prevents errors, making it safe to connect the refrigerant and perform without risk of incompatibility
- PRECISE REFRIGERANT EVERY TIME: Each refrigerant R-1234yf can contains 8oz of refrigerant, measured by weight for accuracy. Simply use the right amount every time. Most systems require 2-3 cans, and this kit provides everything for a quick, effective recharge
