    What are the selection input for these? I have seen them go back and forward on its own. I have also been told that there is an in-cabin humidity sensor but have seen no documentation on it. Does that switch between fresh and recirculate?

    At low temps*, it aims fresh air at your feet
    At high temps it aims recirculated air at your face

    *I am in MS, you may need to take 'low temps' with a grain of salt

    The humidity sensor is listed in the specs section of the sales brochure.
