DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION HEATING AND VENTILATION SYSTEM
Description
The heating and ventilation system is standard on all
models. Air conditioning is an optional system which
provides fully integrated climate control for the vehicle
interior.The heater assembly, comprising a matrix housed in a
distribution unit and a variable speed blower motor, is
located on one side of the engine compartment and
attached directly to the fascia bulkhead.
The heating controls are positioned on the outside of
the instrument binnacle and cable linked to
mechanical flaps in the distribution unit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
Description
Air conditioning is an optional system which provides
fully integrated climate control for the vehicle interior.
The air conditioning system comprises four major
units as follows:- An evaporator matrix and expansion
valve (1), housed in the heater/ cooler unit (3), an
engine mounted compressor (4), a condenser (5),mounted in front of the radiator, and a receiver/drier
(7) located to the right of the condenser.
Ancillary components in the system comprise a blower
motor (2), also housed in the heater/cooler unit, and
condenser cooling fan motors (6), mounted on a
support frame. The four major units are interconnectd
by preformed metal and flexible refrigerant pipes as
illustrated below (RH drive installation shown).
Coolant flow to a heater matrix, housed in the heater
cooler unit, is controlled by a water valve (8) from a
combined air conditioning panel on the vehicle fascia.
