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:
