GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
HEATING AND VENTILATION
SYSTEMS
The base heater system is designed to provide heating,
ventilation, windshield defrosting, side window defogging,
and on some vehicles, heating directly to the rear seat
area.
The heater and fan assembly blower regulates the airflow
from the air inlet for further processing and distribution.
The heater core transfers the heat from the engine coolant
to the inlet air.
The temperature door regulates the amount of the air that
passes through the heater core. The temperature door
also controls the temperature of the air by controlling the
mix of the heated air and the ambient air.
The mode door regulates the flow and the distribution of
the processed air to the heater ducts and to the defroster
ducts.
This console–mounted heating and ventilation panel con-
tains the following:
The Rotary Temperature Control Knob
1. The Rotary Temperature Control Knob
S Actuates by cable.
S Raises the temperature of the air entering the
vehicle by rotation toward the right, or the red
portion of the knob.
2. The Rotary Blower Control Knob
S Turns ON to operate the blower motor at four
speeds.
S Turns OFF to stop the blower.
S Operates completely independently both from
the mode control that regulates the defroster
door and from the temperature control knob.S Changes the fan speed in any mode and at any
temperature setting.
3. The Rotary Mode Control Knob
S Actuates by cable.
S Regulates the air distribution between the wind-
shield, the instrument panel, and the floor vents.
Two Push Knobs
1. The Rear Window Defogger Push Knob
S Controls the rear window defogger.
S Turns ON the rear window defogger when the
push knob is pressed and the indicator lamp is
illuminated.
2. The A/C Push Knob (if the vehicle is equipped with
air conditioning)
S Controls the A/C.
S Turns the A/C ON when the push knob is down.
However, if the blower control knob is OFF, the
A/C system is OFF, regardless of the position of
the A/C knob.
Fresh Air Control Level Or Push Knob
1. The Fresh Air Control Level
S Operates by cable.
S Switches between recirculating passenger
compartment air and bringing outside air into the
passenger compartment.
S Draws in outside air when the lever is moved to
the right.
S Recirculates inside air when the lever is moved
to the left.
2. The Fresh Air Control Push Knob
S Operates by cable.
S Switches between recirculating passenger
compartment air and bringing outside air into the
passenger compartment.
S Draws in outside air when knob is off.
S Recirculates inside air when the knob is down
with the indicator lamp illuminated.
