Information

The air conditioning system includes a software

strategy to protect the compressor and to notify the

dealer of a degradation in air conditioning

The 2002 model year Falcon is fitted with an all new

Features of the new system are:

conditioning system in that no evaporator is fitted.

Heating/Ventilation/Air Distribution

The new unit features heating to the rear occupants

through the console if the Floor mode is selected by

the front occupants. However, if the front occupants

select face mode, the rear occupants will only receive

non-heated air through the console.
Unlike previous units where airflow to the rear is only

available in face mode, airflow to the rear is

maintained in all modes except full demist.
The blower fan speed is now able to be more finely

selected. On the Manual Climate Control, the blower

fan speed dial can select 14 operable speeds. On the

Automatic Climate Control, in AUTO mode the fan

speed is continuously variable to maintain the

optimum comfort setting while with manual override,

there are 10 operable speeds available.

Air Conditioning

A single zone manual (SZMCC) and a dual zone

automatic conditioning system (DZACC) are available.
All systems are provided with intelligent

microprocessor control.
Climate Control System operation selections are

available via the buttons and dials on the Interior

Command Centre (ICC) and selections are displayed

on the ICC display screen.
In the case of automatic climate control, the system

automatically adjusts the operation mode of the

system to provide a set comfort under all operating

conditions.
Dual zone allows different comfort settings for driver

and passenger.
