Default Whats the button on the air vents do?

go ahead and flame for me being new but what does that vent with the top down thing do. Im guessing it helps to maintain cabin air pressure to minimize the wind coming in? Thats my guess but when its on I hardly notice a difference.

Overall though im really glad i got the car, but now nobody will race me. Everyone wanted to race the modded celica but nobody wants to race a stock s2k Need to get down to the tracks before this season is over.

if you mean on the climate control knob, that is a "top down" vent mode that gives air through the left and right upper vent, the vent right above the radio, and the floor to keep your left wheel hand, your right shift hand and your footsies warm

I put it on recirc and that setting and it pushes decent air out of all vents except the upper right.

When it's cool out, I just leave the heat on upper only, or sometimes upper/lower
When it's hot out, I just enjoy the sun and screw the a/c.
I think I've used the a/c twice in almost two years.

Yeah it's a great setting, I leave it mostly on that because it seems to do a good job of keeping the hvac air down in the cabin even with the top down.

I've found that it works best at speeds below 55mph, anything faster and it's not really effective.

I use that setting all the time, even with the top up... Sometimes I dont want the hot/cold air blowing directly on me.

Put all the windows down, the rear little window thing, and blast the a/c on a hot day while you drive spirited... it's epic!
