System Airflow Description - Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC): Defrost
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When DEFROST is selected:
- the RECIRC request button and indicator are disabled. Regardless of button and indicator status, the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the mode doors direct 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.
