Climate Control System (System Airflow Description)

SYSTEM AIRFLOW DESCRIPTION

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 closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers.
- Blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor will operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is ON.

PANEL/FLOOR
When PANEL/FLOOR is selected:
- The recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct and the instrument panel A/C registers. A small amount of airflow from the side window demisters and defrost duct will be present.
- Blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor will operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is ON.

FLOOR
When FLOOR is selected:
- The recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct. A small amount of airflow from the defroster duct and side window demisters will be present.
- Blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor will operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is ON.

FLOOR/DEFROST
When the FLOOR/DEFROST is selected:
- The recirc button is disabled. The air inlet door actuator opens, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct, the defroster duct and the side window demisters.
- Blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request button will indicate the last status and the indicator can be toggled. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is ON.

DEFROST
When DEFROST is selected:
- The recirc button is disabled. The air inlet door actuator opens, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the defroster duct and side window demisters. A small amount of airflow from the floor duct will be present.
- Blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request button will indicate the last status and the indicator can be toggled. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is ON.
