Auxiliary Climate Control

AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL

Auxiliary Climate Control System
The auxiliary climate control housing is located on the LH side of the vehicle between the side windows and the floorpan, behind the rear wheel well. The driver has primary control of the auxiliary climate control system or can transfer control to a rear passenger control panel.

All of the auxiliary climate control system components are serviceable from the inside of the vehicle except the lines.

Auxiliary System Air Distribution

System Airflow:

A vertical air distribution duct supplies air to the integral headliner air distribution duct. Airflow is then directed to the passengers through adjustable registers. The heater floor duct supplies air to a fixed register which is integral to the side trim panel and directs airflow through the fixed register to the passenger compartment.

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 air distribution door are controlled by electronic actuator motors.
- Movement of the auxiliary temperature/mode control between COOL/OVERHEAD and WARM/OVERHEAD 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.
