mode is selected. This is to help reduce moisture build up
on the windshield.

ment panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct
air flow.
Bi-Level
Air is directed through the instrument panel and
floor outlets. A small amount of air is also
directed through the defrost outlets.
NOTE: There is a varying temperature differential
between the upper and lower outlets for added comfort.
