Heating and Ventilation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The heating and ventilation system has the following features:

Delivers heated or cooled air to maintain the vehicle interior temperature and comfort level.
During A/C operation, reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
The blower motor draws outside air or recirculates air from within the vehicle.
Temperature blending is varied by the temperature blend door which regulates the amount of air that flows through or around the heater core.
