Climate Control System: Floor/Defrost

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When FLOOR/DEFROST is selected:

the Recirc request button is enabled. If the Recirc request button is selected (indicator on), the air inlet door actuator positions the air inlet door to close off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the Recirc request button is not selected (indicator off), the air inlet door actuator positions the air inlet door to admit only outside air into the passenger compartment. The DATC will automatically revert to the outside air position after approximately 4 minutes to prevent window fogging.
the floor door actuator positions the floor door in the partially open position to direct partial airflow to the floor duct, and the panel/defrost door actuator positions the panel/defrost door to direct airflow to the defrost duct and side window demisters.
temperature control can be adjusted by directing the airflow through and around the heater core.
the A/C request button is disabled.
the A/C compressor will operate automatically if the outside temperature is above 2°C (35°F).
the blower motor is on.
