Abstract
A climate control system for a vehicle is disclosed, in which an air flow direction flap,is arranged in use to operate in accordance with a control quotient so as to present an air flow in a range of orientations. The orientations are arranged in groups which comprise base orientation levels,and at least one group of intermediate orientation levels,between two neighbouring said base orientation levels,In moving between said neighbouring base orientation levels,said air flow directing flap,passes, at least transiently, through substantially each said intermediate orientation level,whereby a variation in said presentation of said air flow A/F between said neighbouring base orientations appears to a user to be more gradual than would be a substantially stepped change if made directly therebetween.
