Kia Carens: Heating and air conditioning / Mode selection

The mode selection buttons control the direction of the air flow through the ventilation system.

Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Three symbols are used to represent Face, Floor and Defrost air position.

Face-Level (B, D, F*)

Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face. Additionally, each outlet can be controlled to direct the air discharged from the outlet.

Floor-Level (A, C, D, E)

Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windshield and side window defrosters.

Defrost-Level (A, D)

Most of the air flow is directed to the windshield.

Also you may select 2~3 modes at the same time for desired air flow.

- face () + floor () mode
- face () + defrost () mode
- floor () + defrost () mode
- face () + floor () + defrost () mode

Instrument panel vents

The outlet vents can be opened or closed separately using the thumbwheel or vent control lever.
