When PANEL/FLOOR is selected:

The air inlet blend door is set at no vacuum, blocking the recirculation passage and allowing outside air.
The footwell blend door is in the full vacuum position, and the panel airflow door is in the full vacuum position allowing airflow to blend between the panel vents and the footwell ducts.
The defrost airflow door is at full vacuum, closing off airflow to the windshield defroster hose nozzle and directing airflow to the heater outlet footwell duct.
The blower motor is on.
