Mode Lever

Mode Lever


The mode lever allows the driver to route air into the passenger compartment through different outlets.

The mode lever operates as follows:

Ventilation:

In this position, air is discharged from the upper air outlet. The blower speed control lever controls air quantity. The vehicle speed also affects the air quantity when the fresh/recirc lever is set in FRESH.

As the vehicle moves faster, more air is delivered into the passenger compartment. Some air is delivered even when the blower speed is in the OFF position.

Bi-Level:

In this position, airflow is divided between the upper air outlets and the floor air outlets. Warmer air is delivered to the floor outlets than the air that is delivered to the upper air outlets.

Heat:

In this position, heated air is directed toward the floor outlet. A small amount of heated air is directed toward the windshield.

Heat/Defrost:

In this position, a portion of the heated air is routed to the windshield while the remaining air is delivered to the floor and the side window outlets.

Defrost:

In this position, most of the air is directed to the windshield with a small amount of air delivered to the side windows and the floor.
