Heating and ventilation system (Mondeo 1 and 2)

See item 21 in Paragraph 2.

The heating and ventilation system is designed as follows. Outside air enters the air intake located near the windshield, passes through the air filter, fan, heater ducts, deflector system and then enters the passenger compartment. Temperature, flow rate and air distribution can be adjusted.

Warning: Remember to always keep the windshield air intake clear of snow, leaves and other debris.

Air exits the cabin through louvers in the rear doors (in the Station Wagon model, the rear pillars) to the right and left of the rear window.

When the car is moving, the air flow entering the cabin through special deflectors at the driver's and front passenger's doors passes along the side windows to the rear window and goes outside. This system ensures a constant exchange of air in the cabin and prevents the windows from fogging up.

Additional heating system

Caution: Before using additional heating, the anti-theft system must be disabled, otherwise the alarm may be triggered.

Air distribution

The air flow entering the cabin can be adjusted using a special switch on the front panel and distributed using the handles on the side and central deflectors.

Fan

If desired, you can set the fan in one of four modes or turn it off, for example, when soot enters the cabin. In this case, the ventilation system flap closes and the air supply to the cabin stops.

Central and side deflectors

The air flow into the cabin can be adjusted using the handles on the side of the deflectors. The deflectors can be rotated vertically or horizontally as desired.

Heater regulator

When the control handle is in the extreme left position, outside air enters the cabin without heating. By turning the control handle to the right, you can select a warmer temperature mode. Heated air, like cold air, enters the cabin through all deflectors.

Air flow distribution regulator

The regulator controls the flaps, which can open or close the air ducts that direct air flows to the deflectors and under the front panel. The switch positions have the following meanings.

1. "At the feet"
The main air flow is directed downwards, towards the feet. The remaining volume is directed towards the central and side deflectors.

8. "At the feet and on the windshield"
The main air flow goes to the feet and the windshield. The remaining volume goes to the central and side deflectors.



3. "At the feet and at head level"
The main air flow goes to the feet and head level. The remaining volume goes to the windshield.

4. "At head level"
The main air flow is at head level. The remaining volume is on the windshield.

5. "On the windshield"
All air flow goes to the windshield.

Preventing fogging and freezing of the windshield

To do this, set the heater control to the extreme right position and the air flow distribution handle to the "To the windshield" position. The fan speed can be set to positions 2, 3 or 4. For comfort, the air flow distribution control can be switched to the "To the feet" or "To the feet and to the windshield" positions.

Fast interior heating

To do this, set the heater control to the extreme right position and the air flow distribution handle to the "To the feet" position. The fan speed can be set to positions 2, 3 or 4.

Quick heating of the interior in cold weather

If the air flow directed to the "Feet" is not sufficient to heat the windows, set the distributor handle to the "Feet and Windshield" position.

Ventilation

To do this, set the air flow distribution handle to the "Head level" or "Head and feet level" position. The fan can be set to mode 1, 2, 3 or 4, and the central and side deflectors can be opened as desired.

When stuck in a traffic jam

As a rule, the air in "traffic jams" is heavily polluted. To prevent it from getting into the passenger compartment, it is recommended to set the air flow distributor handle to the "Off" position: the air supply to the system will stop and the fan will turn off.
