System Air Flow Description: Floor/Defrost
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When FLOOR/DEFROST is selected:
- The air inlet blend door is in the no vacuum position blocking recirculation air and allowing outside air.
- The footwell blend door is at full vacuum allowing air to flow through the footwell ducts.
- The defrost blend door is in the no vacuum position, allowing airflow to both the windshield defroster hose nozzle and side window demister hose nozzle ducts.
- The vent/register blend door is in the no vacuum position.
- The A/C compressor is enabled when FLOOR/DEFROST is selected to dehumidify the air and reduce windshield fogging.
- The blower motor is on.
