The A/C compressor turns on automatically when this mode is selected. This is to help reduce moisture build up on the windshield. Panel Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument 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. The warmer air goes to the floor outlets. This feature provides improved comfort during sunny but cool conditions. Floor Air is directed through the floor outlets with a lesser amount through the defrost and side window demist outlets.
