System Airflow Description - Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) System: Defrost
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
- to reduce fogging, the A/C compressor will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status.
- the blower motor is ON.
