Using the touchscreens, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air flowing from this vent when
heating or cooling the cabin. When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the direction of the air
flow from each
vent. To adjust the direction of the air

flows in a single stream when centered or splits into mirrored air streams when air is directed
outward or inward from the center of the vent.
