Max A/C
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When MAX A/C is selected:
- The air inlet blend door is at full vacuum, closing off outside air and allowing only recirculated air.
- The defrost blend door is at full vacuum while the footwell blend door is at no vacuum, closing both doors.
- The vent/register blend door is at partial vacuum, directing airflow to the driver side, passenger side and center registers.
- Temperature control is usually set for maximum cold but may be heated if selected.
- Air is picked up at the recirculation opening by the blower motor. With the temperature control set for maximum cold, air flows across the A/C evaporator core, diverting past the heater core and then directed into the passenger compartment through the driver side, passenger side and center registers.
- The A/C compressor is enabled when MAX A/C is selected.
- The blower motor is on.
