Before the fresh air reaches the nozzles, it passes through a dust and pollen filter. The pollen filter – under the air intake grille on the driver"s side – is a component of the standard equipment, and here you can choose between two different filter elements:
- Standard pollen filter: It filters out particles larger than 3 microns from the air, as well as pollen, dust and diesel soot.
- Combination filter with activated carbon (optional): has the same properties as the standard filter. In addition, a layer of activated carbon on the plates of the filter element neutralizes unpleasant odors and binds ozone.
If you have to travel with a standard filter and annoying industrial gases "aromatize" your nose, then use the air recirculation button to immediately create your own microclimate. This process only functions for a short time in the Mondeo, otherwise, especially in the autumn and winter, you would quickly have to "stew" your body in its own juice. Later, when the windows fog up, direct fresh air directly to the windows. In the Mondeo, this process is performed for you by the air distributor regulator - it automatically restores the internal air circulation to the "fresh air" state. The regulator is also activated when you turn on the ignition again after a short break in driving. So that you do not get "clearance" in principle in the Mondeo, the free air flow (forced exhaust ventilation) is directed past the windows while driving.
Constant care for fresh air – forced exhaust ventilation
The forced exhaust ventilation ensures a constant air exchange in the interior even with the nozzles and windows closed. Depending on the position of the air guide flaps, a variety of climates can be created in the interior using the distribution nozzles. Part of the outside fresh air is directed to the aluminum plates of the heating system heat exchanger for this purpose and is then mixed with the cold air to the desired temperature level. Without a fan, the ventilation process functions depending on the driving speed, so on short distances and when driving in cities, the fan should always run at level 1 or 2 to achieve a good feeling. The advantage: regardless of the driving speed, the air flow is distributed faster throughout the vehicle interior. The fan is located in front of the heat exchanger, and thanks to this, even on cold days, the interior does not cool down.
