to moderate weather when refriger­
ation is not required.
During warm weather the system
will
go into operation almost im­
mediately, but cold weather opera­
tion will be delayed until the en­
gine warms up enough to supply
heat
to the system. The tempera- .
ture and blower speed are auto­
matically controlled with the
excep­
tion that the AIC compressor will
not operate. In cold weather,
im­
mediate blower operation can be
obtained in the
DEF position.
Normal Operation-Set the lever
to
AUTO for completely automatic
in-car temperature control. This
setting allows the system
to utilize
various blower: speeds , resulting in
low to moderate airflow.
Placing the lever in the Lo posi­
tion is the same as AUTO setting
except the blower wi\l remain at
low speed.
When greater airflow
is desired or
in severe weather extremes, . set
the lever to HI. The system , still
under automatic
·control, will now
make use of high blower speed
only, resulting in high airflow for
rapid cool
dOwn or heating .
BI-Level Operation
On cool but sunny days . the
Comfortron system
will provide
warm air to the floor and cooler air
out of the upper outlets thus
pro­
viding a warm floot without 'exces­
sive rise in breath level tempera­
ture. Under extremely bright sun
conditions, the system may shift
into bi-level operation at relatively
low outside temperatures in order
to maintain the temperature set on
the dial.
If cool air from upper out­
lets is objectionable, adjust upper
outlets
as desired.
For window defogging -Move
the lever
to BI-LEVEL to divert a
portion of the conditioned air
through the defroster ducts and up-
2-23
per outlets when interior window
fogging
is encountered.
For windshield de-icing -With
the lever in the
DEF position the
system directs most of the airflow
at full heat and high blower speed
through the defroster ducts.
Some
airflow is also directed to the floor.
Air-Conditioner
Operating Tips
Close all windows and vents
when operating air system except
for the
first few minutes of opera­
tion when the car interior is very
hot. Close the windows
as soon as
the excessively heated air has es­
caped.

conditions. Air
is added to the
rear shock absorbers,
as needed,
through an air valve located
in the
rear bumper
as shown in the illus­
tration. A minimum pressure of
10-\5 psi should be maintained at
all times. After the car is loaded ,
pressure may be increased until the
rear of the vehicle returns to the
normal designed riding height, but
not to exceed

Retractable Tail Gate
The retractable tail gate is de­
signed to
lower into the underbody
and in general follows the body
contour during the opening and
closing cycles. Similarly, the back
window, which
is separate of the
gate, raises upward and into the
space between the roof inner and
outer panels.
TAIL GATE RELEASE~WINGS
'TO CLOSE --C~WINDOW ~ WINDOW-KEY ~:/ OPEN-KEY

The power operl)ted window can
be
op~rated by either of two con­
trol switches; one on the instrument
panel
~nd one (key operated) on
the
rea~ of the tight hand quarter
outer
panel, adjacent to the tail
gate. The manually operated tail
gate
may" be operated only by the
rear switch on the body exterior.
The control switches actuate
openingcycle.s when rotated
clockwise and closing cycles when
rotated counter-clockwise. For

manual tail gate requirements, the
exterior control switch includes two
positions, right and left of center
(vertical) position. Movement of
the
key to the first position (cl()ck­
wise) raises the
tail gate window;
movement of the winged knob
(window must
Be up at least 8
iqches) in the same direction me­
chanical!>: releases the tail gate for
manual16wering. A feature of the
~anual tap gate requires the tail
gate be
fUlly closed before the
window
will lower completely. For
power operated (optional equip­
ment) tail gates, thei,nterior switch
can only be operated when the

tion and transll)ission selector lever
