Airflow control dial
Each dial position activates the following air outlets.
(Ventilation): Instrument panel outlets
(Bi-level): Instrument panel outlets and foot outlets
(Heat): Foot outlets, both side outlets of the instrument panel and some through windshield defroster outlets (A small amount of air flows to the windshield and both side windows to prevent fogging.)
(Heat-def): Windshield defroster outlets, foot outlets and both side outlets of the instrument panel
Windshield defroster outlets and both side outlets of the instrument panel
For details, refer to “Airflow selection”.
NOTE
When the dial is placed in the “”
or “” position, the air
conditioner compressor operates automatically regardless of the position of the air conditioner button to defog the windshield more quickly. However the indicator on the air conditioner button will not illuminate. At the same time, the air inlet selection is automatically set to “outside air” mode.
In this state, you cannot select “recirculation” mode by manually pressing the air inlet selection button.
Also, you cannot stop the air conditioner compressor by pressing the air conditioner button.
