Max Mode

When the driver selects the MAX A/C mode, the blower motor and A/C compressor clutch are activated. The recirculation door is activated, bring air from inside the vehicle for maximum cooling. Air is delivered out the instrument panel outlets with a small amount out the floor outlets. Vacuum is supplied to one side of both the defrost and mode actuators. This causes the actuators to retract.

Recirculation is only available in MAX A/C. When MAX A/C mode is selected, vacuum is applied to the recirculation actuator. The force of the vacuum overcomes the spring pressure of the spring inside the actuator. This moves the actuator, which is linked to the recirculation door, into recirculation mode. This brings air from inside the vehicle instead of fresh air from the outside.
