WTF does Max A/C do?

Max A/C is for cabin air recirculation only. Notice when you have a Recirc button, you don't have a Max A/C setting. When you have a Max A/C setting, you don't have a recirc button.

Most compressors nowadays don't cycle anyway. They are either ON or OFF. The pressure control is done with valving in the compressor itself. This is not to say that the engine controller cannot turn OFF the compressore if the high side pressure becomes too high or too low or if you in a W.O.T. scenario.

My Kia has both a max and a recirc setting. I can recircate the air on every setting. When "Max" is selected, I can't override the recirculate feature.

The Subaru only has the recirc button and no "Max" setting.

Same with our work '04 F-150. The only thing is max a/c just blows through the top vents. I always have it set to top/bottom and hit the recurculate button.
