Front Heater Blower Assembly
For the purpose of improving its heating performance, a recirculation air mixing door that can partially mix the recirculation air while operating in the fresh-air mode has been provided in the front heater blower assembly. This door is automatically opened and closed by the vacuum that is created when the heater blower fan sub-assembly operates, without requiring the driver to control it.
