It is the rear heater.  On the right side is a valve that rotates a quarter
turn.  Facing down is off, facing forward is on.  There is no natural
airflow through it, only that provided by the fan (four-position switch to
the left of the heater panel, looks just like the switch for the regular
heater fan).
