System Airflow Description - Electronic Automatic Climate Control: Defrost
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When DEFROST is selected:
- The air inlet door actuator positions the air inlet door to admit only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The panel/defrost door and the panel/floor door vacuum control motors are at no vacuum, directing airflow to the defrost duct, the side window demisters, and the center console registers (if equipped).
- The temperature can be adjusted to heat or cool the air below the outside temperature.
- The A/C compressor will operate if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is on.
