Air flow is directed towards the face and the floor.
Floor-Level (C, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windscreen, side window defrosters and side air vents.
Floor/Defrost-Level (A, C, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windscreen with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters and side air vents.
