System Airflow Description - Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC): Floor/Defrost
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the FLOOR/DEFROST is selected:
- the RECIRC request button is enabled. If the RECIRC request button is selected (indicator ON), the air inlet mode door actuator closes off outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the RECIRC request button is not selected (indicator OFF), the air inlet mode door actuator admits only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the defrost/panel/floor mode 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 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.
