  • During A/C operation; reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
  • The blower motor draws outside air or recirculates air from within the vehicle.
  • Temperature blending is varied by the temperature blend door which regulates the amount of air that flows through or around the heater core.

Heater Core

The heater core consists of fins and tubes arranged to extract heat from the engine coolant and transfer the heat to air passing through the heater core.

Blower Motor
