Air Duct Lever (Under Bonnet)

Hi All,
just been checking out an under bonnet problem and came across a lever on the side of the air duct. This air duct has two positional settings and some instructions in Japanese...........yep its all dutch to me :lol:

Can anyone advise me further? The lever was in position 1 (internal deflectors closed/down) and is in position 2 in the photograph (internal deflectors open/up).

I have had problems on longer trips 1.5 hrs plus, where the heater functions initially ok and then later begins to blow out cool/cold air. I don't have any overheating issues,although the problem I was investigating turns out to be a minor radiator leek (steam comes out when hot) and I have minor coolant loss. So the radiator leak aside, does the deflector position affect the function of my digital temp/air con control? It is a 2.5 V6, 10 years old. Any help much appreciated
