Mercury 1999 Villager - Manual (Page 22)

The air conditioning operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is
depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be
left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet
duct.
• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside of the
vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically
engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher and
the
A/C A/C indicator will automatically light. Airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push the
A/C A/C control in order to cool the vehicle below the
outside temperature.
• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the
A/C A/C
control in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
For added customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is
anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the air
distributed through the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly
warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers.
•
(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the
A/C (A/C) control in
order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
•
(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating
