Heating and Ventilation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The heating and ventilation system:
- controls the temperature of the air inside the vehicle.
- reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle (during A/C compressor operation).
- delivers heated or cooled air to maintain the vehicle interior temperature and comfort level.
The heating and ventilation system uses a reheat method to provide conditioned air to the passenger compartment. Temperature blending is controlled by the temperature doors, which regulate the amount of air that flows through and around the heater core, where it is then mixed and distributed. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the A/C evaporator core.
Vehicles equipped with Auto Start-Stop have a cabin heater coolant pump.
