Auxiliary System Airflow
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The auxiliary climate control system has the following features:
- A vertical air distribution duct supplies air to the integral headliner air distribution duct. Airflow is then directed to the passengers through adjustable registers. The heater floor duct supplies air to a fixed register, which is integral to the side trim panel.
- The auxiliary blower motor recirculates the air inside the vehicle. Outside air is not available to the auxiliary climate control system.
- Air is cooled and dehumidified by the auxiliary evaporator core only if the main (front) climate control assembly is adjusted to a position that requires A/C compressor operation.
- The temperature blend door and the airflow mode door are controlled by electric actuator motors.
- Movement of the auxiliary temperature/mode control between COOL and WARM causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door to mix air flowing through and around the auxiliary heater core. Selection of the auxiliary mode control buttons causes a corresponding movement of the mode door to direct airflow to the ROOF and FLOOR positions.
