Temperature Lever

The temperature lever controls the amount of air flow through the heater core. The temperature lever regulates the temperature of the air that enters the vehicle.

When the temperature lever is moved completely to the left or the full COLD position, the air mix door closes in order to block the flow of air to the heater core. When the lever is moved completely to the right or the full HOT (red) position, the air mix door opens fully in order to allow the air to flow through the heater core.

Moving the temperature lever in between these 2 extremes allows the driver to adjust the passenger compartment temperature to the most comfortable level.
