Flow-Through Ventilation System 
1 
K2 1 90 
Your vehicle’s  flow-through  ventilation  system  supplies  outside  air \
 to  the  inside 
of  your  vehicle when 
it is moving.  With  the  side  windows  closed,  air  will  flow 
into the  front  air  inlet  grilles,  through  the vehicle  and  out  the  rear  air exhaust 
valves.  Outside  air  will  also  enter  the  vehicle  when  the  heate\
r  or  the  air  conditioning  fan  is running. 
Ventilation Tips 
e 
e 
e 
Keep  the  hood  and  front  air  inlet  free  of ice,  snow,  or any  other 
obstruction  (such  as leaves).  The  heater  and  defroster  will  work  far 
better, reducing  the  chance  of fogging  the  inside of your  windows. 
When  you  enter  a  vehicle  in  cold  weather,  turn  the  blower  fan\
  to 
HI for 
a  few  moments  before  driving 
off. This  helps  clear  the  intake  ducts  of 
snow  and  moisture,  and  reduces  the  chance  of  fogging the  inside of 
your  windows. 
Keep  the  air  path under  the  front  seats  clear  of objects.  This  helps  air 
to  circulate  throughout  your  vehicle.

Heating  System  (Without  Air  Conditioning) 
K2441 
If your  vehicle  does  not  have  air  conditioning,  this is what  your  heating 
system  will  look  like. 
Fan  Knob 
The  knob  on  the  right  has four positions. To increase  the  air  flow,  turn  it 
toward 
(t). To decrease  the  air  flow,  turn  it  toward (-). 
Temperature Lever 
The  bottom  lever  lets  you  select  the  temperature  of  the  air  f\
lowing  into your 
vehicle.  Move  the  lever  right  toward 
(+) for  warmer  air.  Move  the  lever left 
toward 
(-) for  cooler  air. 
Function Lever 
The  top  lever  can  be moved to three  different  heating  functions. 
Defrost (Right):  This  setting  operates  the  defroster.  Heated  air  comes\
  out 
near  the  windshield.  Use  this  when  you  get  fog 
or ice  on  the  windshield. 
Heater (Center):  Heated  air  comes  out  near  the floor. This  is  best for cold 
weather. 
Vent (Left): The  air  comes  out  at  the  vents  on  your  instrument  panel  and 
at  your  front  side  windows. 
Placing  the  lever  between  positions  sends  air 
out both vents.

ard  the  right  for  headliner  vent  air  flow.  Generally,  the  upper  vents  are  used  f\

conditioning  and  the  floor  vents  for  heating:  however,  the  cont\
rol  knob  may  be

of air  flow. 
To adjust  the  air  flow  speed,  turn  the  fan  control  knob  on  the  \
left  side  of the 
control  panel  to  the  desired  blower  setting. 
To activate  the  rear  control,  move  the  fan  knob on the  front  control  to REAR
