System Airflow Description: Panel
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
When PANEL is selected:
- The air inlet mode door, with no vacuum being applied, allows outside air only.
- The panel mode door receives a partial vacuum signal to direct airflow to the driver, passenger and center registers.
- The defrost air inlet mode door receives a full vacuum signal and the defrost airflow door is at no vacuum, closing off airflow to the windshield defroster hose nozzles and floor ducts.
- The temperature setting can be changed to heat the air, but the air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature.
- The A/C compressor is only enabled due to a request from the traction battery control module (TBCM) to cool the high voltage traction battery (HVTB) and not the cabin.
- The blower motor is ON.
