blows it out through the heater floor vents and the
instrument panel vents. If you move the temperature
knob between hot and cold, cooler air will come out of
the upper vents while warmer air comes out of the floor
vent. The air conditioning compressor may operate in
this setting to cool the air.

instrument panel. The air conditioning compressor will
not run in this position. Adjust the temperature knob for
