you.

4. Slowly turn the stainless-steel wind direction shaft with your fingers. Stop turning

when the display reaches the degree reading obtained in step 3.
Please allow the wind direction display approximately 5 seconds to stabilize
after the shaft is turned. You will have to turn the shaft, wait, and turn it
again until the desired wind direction is displayed on the console.
