Heater bypass control
Air supply from the face level vents is further controlled by
the heater bypass control in the centre of the fascia panel.
The purpose of this feature is to enable cooler air to be
directed towards the face at those times when the heater is
required to provide hot air in order to keep the interior of the
car warm - particularly useful during winter. The bypass is
controlled by turning the thumbwheel:
•
towards the BLUE spot to open the bypass.
•
towards the WHITE spot to close the bypass.
If the air distribution control is set to foot, screen or window
vents:
•
Heater bypass closed - all air flow is prohibited.
•
Heater bypass open - unheated (fresh) air supply only.
If the air distribution control is set to face or foot and face vents:
•
Heater bypass closed - heated air supply (temperature as
heater setting).
•
Heater bypass open - a blend of heated and unheated air
(which has bypassed the heater) providing a cooler output.
