Bi-Level Mode

Air comes from both the instrument panel outlets, floor
outlets and defrost. A slight amount of air is also directed
through the side window demister outlets.

NOTE:

In many temperature positions, the bi-level

mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the panel
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
