System Airflow Description

SYSTEM AIRFLOW DESCRIPTION

Max A/C
When MAX A/C is selected:
- the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air and admits only recirculated air.
- the recirc button is disabled and the indicator is illuminated.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is illuminated and will be disabled.
- the A/C compressor can operate if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.

PANEL
When PANEL is selected:
- the recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor can operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.

PANEL/FLOOR
When PANEL/FLOOR is selected:
- the recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct and the instrument panel A/C registers. A small amount of airflow from the side window demisters and defrost duct will be present.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor can operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.

OFF
When OFF is selected:
- the recirc request button is disabled.
- the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air and admits only recirculated air. This is done to prevent the natural flow of air through the outlets during vehicle movement.
- the A/C request button is disabled.
- the blower motor is OFF.

FLOOR
When FLOOR is selected:
- the recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct. A small amount of airflow from the defroster duct and side window demisters will be present.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor can operate and the indicator will illuminate if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.

FLOOR/DEFROST
When the FLOOR/DEFROST is selected:
- the recirc request button is enabled. If the recirc request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirc request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs airflow to the floor duct, the defroster duct and the side window demisters.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button and indicator can be toggled. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor request will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.

DEFROST
When DEFROST is selected:
- the air inlet door actuator opens, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the floor/defrost/panel door directs 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 and indicator can be toggled. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor request will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- the blower motor is ON.
