Quitcherbellyakin! Whaddya want, egg in yer beer?
Yes, you have the system correct with the exception that you don't mention
the little vent doors on either side of the transmission tunnel. The way I
use the heater is that I open the water tap in winter and close it in
summer. The fan motor rarely gets used. I think of the vent doors as the
on/off switch for the heater. BTW, this is the first car that my wife and I
have owned that we are happy with in cold weather. She always needs lots of
heat and I don't need much. So, she opens her vent door and is nice and
toasty warm without melting me.
