Main System (Front)

OPERATION
The heater system provides heating, ram air, power ventilation, and windshield defrosting. Outside air is drawn from the plenum at the base of the windshield into the heater module by the blower fan. Additional outside air, called ram air, is forced into the heater module by the forward movement of the vehicle. Within the heater module, the air is heated as required, and then routed through ducts to the proper outlets for discharge into the passenger compartment. A control assembly in the instrument panel allows the operator to control blower speed, mode of operation and temperature of the air coming from the heater system.
