But, they have it somewhat wrong. In describing the top lever, they say it's for defrost, and only talk about it controlling the defrost vents. At least on an '81, it's much more complex - it also controls the front/center foot vents and the rear cabin floor vent. I think the defrost vents are always on, but moving the lever toward the right progressively shuts off the heater vents, so more air is then delivered for defrost. |
