When MAX A/C is selected:

The air inlet door actuator positions the air inlet door to close off outside air from entering the passenger compartment.
The panel/defrost door vacuum control motor is at full vacuum and the panel/floor door vacuum control motor is at no vacuum, directing airflow to the instrument panel A/C registers and the center console registers (if equipped). A small amount of airflow from the side window demisters will be present.
Blended air temperature is available.
The A/C compressor will operate if the outside temperature is above approximately 6°C (43°F).
The blower motor is on.
