To re-cap then . . .

Its a lever concerned with driving about in cold/warm temperatures & not connected to the heater mechanics or re-circ air system.

My guess is its something to do with the Winter Pack & is as relevant to us as the Cold Start Switch.

Nope

It's a control to direct warmer than freezing air into the VEHICLE - not the engine. #-o

I stand corrected Sir.

Just attempting to get back on thread again as mine has one of these & I was wondering what to do with it. . . .
