Side vents BI-LEVEL position-This position directs the air flow to face level and the floor. Except in ventilation, the air to the floor is slightly warmer than that to face level. FLOOR position-This position directs the air flow mostly to the floor. FLOOR/WINDSHIELD position - This position directs air flow to the windshield as well as the floor. WINDSHIELD position-This position directs air flow to the windshield and front side windows. (f) Operating tips S Be sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked by leaves or other obstructions. S If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the dashboard vents. (See "Side vents" or "Lower vent".) S When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake control lever be set to the OUTSIDE AIR position and the fan speed control knob anywhere except the "OFF" position. S If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake control lever be temporarily set to the RECIRCULATED AIR position, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior. The side vents may be opened or closed as shown. 120
