WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When DEFROST is selected:
- the RECIRC request button and indicator is disabled. Regardless of button and indicator status, the air inlet door opens, allowing only outside air into the passenger compartment.
- the mode doors direct airflow to the defroster duct and side window demisters. A small amount of airflow from the floor duct is present.
- blended air temperature is available.
- the A/C request button is enabled. The A/C compressor operates automatically and the indicator illuminates if the A/C request button is selected and the outside temperature is above approximately 0°C (32°F).
- the blower motor is on.
