Instruments and controls

Manual climate-control
system

The air is drawn in through an intake at the
bottom edge of the windshield. It passes
through an efficient filter before being
routed through the climate-control system
and into the cabin. The cabin discharge vent
is located on the right behind the rear
bumper. The air discharge vents should be
kept free of snow and ice in the winter.

The rate of air flow inside the car is con-
trolled by means of the fan switch.

Temperature control

The temperature of the incoming air can
be steplessly varied using the temperature
control.

Air distribution

The air distribution control is used to direct
the flow of air to the defroster, dash and floor
vents.
The control permits settings intermediately
between the three main settings so that the
available air can be apportioned between
the floor and the windshield (defroster) or
between the floor and the panel.
To counter cold drafts from the front side
windows when the control has been set to
defroster or floor, a small flow of air issues
from the dash vents.

The dash vents swivel universally, so that
the air can be directed as desired.
The flow of air through the dash vents can
be adjusted for each vent by means of the
adjacent control.
Air to the rear side windows is supplied by
the floor ducts. To demist these windows
you should therefore select a defroster/floor
combination.
If the windows are thoroughly cleaned it is
much easier to keep them free of mist.
