Exactly what does it do and how does it do it? In other words, when you move the lever, what does the lever, in turn, move? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
Thanks for your help Sean |

As you lift it up, it pulls cables which open the flapper valves between the heat exchangers and the passenger cabin to let air funneled around the exhaust pipes warm up and in turn keep you warm inside the car. The further you pull the red lever means the valves open up more. At about the halfway point, an additional electric fan in the engine compartment is kicked on to boost the volume of air already being sent through the pipes by the impeller fan attached to the crankshaft.
