System Airflow Description - Electronic Automatic Temperature Control: Panel/Floor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mercury Sable and 2003 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When PANEL/FLOOR is selected:
- The air inlet door vacuum control motor is at no vacuum, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- The defrost door and floor console duct door (if equipped) vacuum control motors are at full vacuum and the panel/floor door vacuum control motor is at partial vacuum, directing airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers, the floor duct and the center console registers (if equipped).
- The temperature can be adjusted to heat or cool the air below the outside temperature.
- The A/C compressor will operate if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
- The blower motor is on.
