On my wife's Explorer, the bottom right quad was climate..

in my new 15, it is now Settings... that bugs the crap out of me..

is there a setting that I can change that, or is that a lost feature for us lowly XLT owners?

 

You won't get the climate control settings unless you have dual climate controls from the factory. So Lariat and above are the only ones that get the "climate" controls on the screen.

 

no way to change it. Discussed a few times.
