System Air Flow: Panel

When PANEL 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 panel door actuator positions the panel door in the OPEN position and the floor door and defrost door actuators position the floor door and defrost door in the CLOSED position, directing airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers.
• The dual coolant control valve is automatically controlled by the DATC module based on the temperature setting(s).
• The A/C request button is enabled. When the A/C request button is selected (indicator ON), the A/C compressor will operate if the outside air temperature is above approximately 2°C (35°F). When the A/C request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the A/C compressor will not operate and the air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature.
• The blower motor is ON.
