Default What does this level do?

Hello. First post and first corvette so this is uncharted territory for me.

gotta 74 convertible with factory a/c. There is a lever to the left of the wiper switch. What does it do? It’s unmarked.

thanks - signed new Vette owner.

Thanks. To get the center vents to blow out on a/c car - turn both the left and right climate control wheels to vent?

thanks in advance

That switch activates the Passenger Ejection Seat.
Warning: T-Top must be removed.

Choose when to activate wisely.

I thought that was only standard on “knight rider” cars

thanks in advance
Both side vents & the center vent all blow air at the same time. Side vents can be closed by the pull ***** pushed in.

The left thumb wheel controls the A/C, vent and heater. Air temp is controlled by the right thumb wheel, cold top, hot bottom..
