In the manual mode the switchover valves for the footwell flaps in the valve block (Y11) are actuated by pressing the air distribution button (display AIR FLOW BUTTON - FOOTWELL ).

Pressure is present on the footwell flap vacuum elements (47, 48) and the footwell flaps are opened 100 % (= stroke B). Air flows into the front and rear foot wells through the air outlets.

In the automatic mode  2-stage actuation (stroke A/stroke B) of the footwell flap vacuum elements (47, 48) is possible depending on the temperature in the heater core.
