OVERVIEW
The heating and ventilation system controls the temperature and flow of air supplied to the vehicle interior. The system consists of
- An air inlet duct.
- A heater.
- A rear blower.
- Two ventilation outlets.
Fresh or recirculated air flows into the heater from the inlet duct. The blower, and ram effect when the vehicle is moving, forces the air through the heater. Air from the cabin exhausts through the ventilation outlets.
Some vehicles may be fitted with a 4 zone climate control system. Refer to Auxiliary Climate Control .
