System Air Flow Description: Panel
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When panel is selected:
- The air inlet blend door, with no vacuum being applied, blocks recirculated air and allows outside air. Air flows through the system to the driver, passenger and center registers.
- The vent/register blend door is at partial vacuum to direct airflow to the driver, passenger and center registers.
- The defrost blend is at full vacuum and defrost airflow door is at no vacuum, closing off airflow to the windshield defroster hose nozzles and footwell ducts.
- The temperature setting can be changed manually to heat the air but air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature.
- The A/C compressor is disabled when VENT is selected.
- The blower motor is on.
