Ventilation System
VENTILATION-FRESH AIRThese vehicles are equipped with either manual A/C-Heater air conditioning or an electronic automatic temperature control climate control system. Ventilation is provided by both systems and features:
- outside air intake from the cowl area.
- an optional cowl-mounted pollen filter.
- exhaust vents in the luggage compartment.
The pollen filter consists of three layers of polyester and polycarbonate non-woven fabric in a frame of the same material. It restricts particles larger than 3 microns, completely blocking pollen and dust particles which range in size from 7 to 100 microns.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
Outside air is drawn into the vehicle through the cowl. Air distribution within the vehicle is controlled by either:
- the driver through function selections on the manual A/C-heater system.
- the electronic automatic temperature control.
- the driver using manual override of the electronic automatic temperature control system.
Air enters the passenger compartment from the following:
- instrument panel registers
- from floor duct
- defroster nozzle
- side window demisters
- rear floor duct
- rear console registers (with five-passenger seating only)
Passenger compartment air is exhausted from the vehicle through open windows or quarter vent air grilles.
