System Airflow Description - Manual Climate Control: Panel
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When PANEL is selected:
- The air inlet door vacuum control motor is at no vacuum, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The panel door vacuum control motor is at full vacuum and the defrost door and floor door vacuum control motors are at no vacuum, directing airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers. A small amount of airflow from the floor duct, defroster duct and side window demisters will be present.
- The heater control valve is at full vacuum when the temperature selection is in the full COOL position, preventing the flow of hot coolant to the heater core. Otherwise, blended air temperature is available.
- The A/C request switch will be enabled. The A/C compressor will operate and the indicator will be illuminated if the A/C request switch is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is on.
- The auxiliary blower motor is enabled, if equipped.
