Ventilation
Flow-through ventilation provides a
con-
tinuous draft-free exchange of air while
driving.
Air enters the car through the
grille on the front hood and inside vents.
A water separator prevents rain from
entering.
The air in the passenger compartment
is
drawn out through inside openings near
the rear window and escapes to the out-
side through louvers.

A two-speed electric fan behind the
instrument panel increases the flow of
air when driving at low speeds and also
supplies fresh air when the car is
standing still (ignition on).

2a and 2b - Fresh air vents
Fresh air comes out through a pair of
vents on each side.
Each upper vent has a
lever
When the
lever is in the straight-up position the air
is directed toward the windshield. In the
down position (move lever to the right),
the air is directed into the passenger
compartment. Air will flow in both direc-
tions when you select an intermediate
position.
