Airflow Mode Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Airflow mode can be controlled automatically or manually. Under automatic airflow control, air is directed to appropriate ducts based on sensor inputs, temperature selection and current state. Manual airflow selection can be accomplished without leaving automatic temperature and blower controls. The following manual override mode buttons are available: OFF, defrost/floor, defrost, panel, panel/floor and floor. See Figure.
