DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Controls set for unheated air to footwells and face level vents
Heater and ventilation operation
The heating and ventilation system contains a heater
matrix, which is connected to the engine cooling
system, and a 4 speed fan for air distribution. Engine
coolant is circulated through the heater matrix
continuously, except when the temperature controls
are set to COLD.
Recirculated air
When the recirculation switch is pressed, an electrical
servo operates and fully closes the fresh air intake
flap.
Fresh air
When the recirculation switch is returned to the OFF
position, the electrical servo returns and fully opens
the fresh air intake flap.
Heated air
Temperature output is controlled by the temperature
controls which move the air direction and temperature
flaps independently to increase or decrease the
volume of air flow through the heater matrix.
V8 Engine: When both controls are in the cold
position, the coolant valve is turned off.
Face level vent flap

re-circulated air is available from the face level vents.
