Side Vents Question, 97 Legacy (Wagon)


Recommended Posts

When I switch the HVAC control from dash (mid) vents to either floor or defrost, the side vents never turn off (the center vents do turn off). The side vents in the dash have on/off dials under them (but the two center vents do not) so to keep hot air on the windshield or my toes but not blowing at my face I have to manually turn off the side-vent whenever I'm in defrost or floor mode.

 

Is this normal for this model?

 

Thanks,

Scott

yes.

 

i didn't realize they stayed on with floor, but defrost yes. if your winshield is fogging up maybe your side windos too. that's my logic anyway.

In my mind I think I tested this, several times, using floor and defrost, but I might be wrong ... maybe it's only on defrost. Regardless, you have already confirmed that it is normal (but annoying). Thanks!
