d Operation
Air Distribution
Ou
tside air enters the plen
um via four inlets in the lower windshield panel.
If the air conditioning system is operating in FRESH mode (not recirculation mode), then air is drawn through the four
plenum apertures (and particle filters where fitted) and into the air conditioni ng unit via the blower interconnecting ducts in
the LH and RH blower assemblies. Air is c ooled and dehumidified as it passes through the evaporator and is then 'reheated'
to the required temperature as it passes through the heater matrix.
In RECIRCULATION mode, the air in the pass enger compartment is drawn into the air conditioning unit via the recirculation
air inlets on the blower assemblies.
In FRESH mode, air flows from the cabin into the trunk through a gap between the backlight and the parcel shelf. The air is
exhausted from the vehicle through extraction vent assemblies (incorporating one way flaps) whose outlets are above the
rear mufflers.

Panels centered between two adjacent panels must have equal gaps on either side. For exceptions to this, refer to the
appropriate specification. Gaps between ad jacent panels or components must not expose harnesses, labels, brackets or
visually poor joint or assembly conditions.
• NOTE: Sliding roof panel clearances are specified without the edge seal installed.
Areas of particular concern are, fuel filler flap, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, hood to fenders, grill and headlamps,
sliding roof to main roof panel, door gaps at fenders, B\C posts, roof drip rail an d rocker panel, and bumper cover to fenders
and cross car assemblies
Alignment
Panels must be correctly profiled to maintain cosmetic appearance, and ensure co rrect seating of seals with minimal wind
noise. Areas of particular concern are hood to fenders, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, doors to apertures, doors to
fenders and adjacent doors and relationship of the sliding roof panel leading and trailing edges to the main roof panel.
Exterior Fitments
Bezels, trims and lamps must be concentric with apertu res and have equal clearances with adjacent panels.
Areas of particular concern are headlamp to hood, fender and trim panel, exhaust tailpipe trim to bumper cover cut-out,
rear lamp assembly to trunk lid, fender and bumper cover trim, and side feature lines including body side mouldings, fender
to door and door to door.
