How does the air conditioning system of the Ford Ecosport work?

Model: Ford Ecosport BK, MK 1 - Years 2012-2023
Part: Air conditioner

Let's see how the climate control system of the Ford Ecosport works: the fan adjustment is made via the rotary knob located on the left; the air function buttons are: the rear defroster for the rear window; the button for maximum windshield defrosting, which automatically activates A/C and warm air, and the normal Defrost that directs air towards the windshield. The directional buttons send air to the face or to the feet or in mixed mode, to both. Then we have the button with the "internal arrow" icon, which is for recirculation: it closes off outside air by recycling the cabin air. It is useful for quick cooling or in case of smoke/external odors. The A/C button turns the compressor on and off (necessary for cold air) and selects the temperature in the blue range of the knob. The "power/off" button turns off the entire system. The "auto" mode automatically adjusts fan speed, distribution, and temperature to reach the set value. A separate button is used for seat heating at three levels.
