The auxiliary climate control system has the following features:

  • 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/ROOF and WARM/FLOOR causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door to mix air flowing through and around the auxiliary heater core and also causes a corresponding movement of the mode door to the ROOF and FLOOR positions.
