HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
A large capacity central HVAC system provides
enough conditioned and filtered air for all climatic
conditions. Fresh air is drawn into the system from
the evaporator compartment on driver’s side of the
vehicle. Return air is taken from the middle of the
vehicle. The driver’s heater and defogger are
controlled separately from the passenger's unit. An
air mixture selector enables air to be drawn into the
system from outside the vehicle or recirculated.
Optionally, condensers installed in the overhead
storage compartments provide cool air to the seated
passengers from the overhead registers.
