System Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by heating and/or cooling the air.
- During A/C operation, the system reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
- The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.
- The temperature control setting is the desired cabin air temperature.
- The blower motor control override buttons vary the blower motor speed.
- The driver side and passenger side temperature settings can be individually controlled (dual zone systems only).
When the system is set to AUTO the air distribution direction, blower motor speed and A/C compressor operation and air inlet door mode are automatically controlled based on the temperature(s) selected.
The system manual override settings:
- allow the air distribution direction to be manually selected.
- allow the blower motor speed to be manually selected.
- allow recirculation mode to be manually selected in all modes except DEFROST. The A/C request can be manually selected by pressing the A/C request switch.
- allow A/C compressor operation to be manually selected except in DEFROST and FLOOR/DEFROST.
