Air Duct: Description and Operation
Distribution Ducts And Outlets (MCC-ECC):
-
Air is distributed uniformly throughout the passenger compartment via the following outlets:
-
7 windscreen defroster outlets
-
2 side defroster outlets
-
5 ventilation outlets
-
2 rear floor outlets
-
2 front floor outlets
-
The windscreen defroster duct (1), in which air from the left- and right-hand sides is mixed, forms part of the instrument panel frame.
-
There are separate side defroster ducts on the left- and right-hand sides (2 and 3). Since these conduct air directly from the heater, they can only
deliver heated air.
-
The left and right front floor ducts (5 and 6) are integral with the soundproofing panels.
The air supply to the rear passengers first flows through a chamber (7) in which air from both sides is mixed. The flow is then divided between two
ducts passing underneath the front seats.
-
The left and right side ventilation ducts (4) are separate, and are generously dimensioned to handle a high airflow.
-
The center ventilation outlets are also supplied by separate ducts (8).
