Mode Selection

The mode selection button controls the direction of airflow through the ventilation system.

Air can be directed to the floor, instrument panel vents, or windshield. Six symbols are used to represent the direction and flow of ventilation: MAX A/C, Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost, and Defrost.

MAX A/C Level (B, D)

Airflow is directed to the upper body and face. Use the MAX A/C mode to cool the passenger compartment more quickly.

In this mode, the A/C and recirculation mode are automatically turned off and selected.

Face Level (B, D)

Airflow is directed to the upper body and face. In addition, each vent can be adjusted to direct the air flowing out of the outlet.

Bi-Level (B, D, E, C)

Airflow is directed to the face and floor.

Floor (C, A, D, E)

Most of the airflow is directed to the floor, with a small amount directed to the windshield and side window defroster vents.

Floor/Defrost Level (A, C, D, E)

Most of the airflow is directed to the floor and windshield, with a small amount directed to the side window defroster vents.

Defrost Level (A, D)

Most of the airflow is directed to the windshield, with a small amount directed to the side window defroster vents.

Instrument Panel Vents

The outlet vents can be opened or closed individually using the horizontal adjustment wheel. To close a vent, turn it fully to the left. To open a vent, turn it to the desired position.

You can also adjust the direction of airflow from these vents using the ventilation control lever, as shown in the illustration.
