							Heating & Ventilation
45
He a ting &  Ve nt ila tionVENTILATION
The ventilation system provides fresh or heated 
air to the interior of the vehicle. 
NOTE: Always keep the exterior air intake grilles 
clear of obstructions such as leaves, snow or 
ice.
The temperature of the air supplied to the 
windscreen and foot level vents is controlled by 
the heater, while the fresh air vents in the upper 
fascia provide fresh air only. The location of the 
vents is shown in the illustration above.
Information concerning the operation of the 
heating and ventilation system, appears on the 
following pages.Fresh air vents
To open the vents in the upper fascia, pull one 
of both knobs out and push the levers 
downwards. To close the vents, pull the knobs 
out and raise the levers.
These vents provide unheated fresh air only.

HEATER CONTROLS
NOTE: For vehicles fitted with an air 
conditioning system, the controls and air 
conditioning vents are described on a later page 
(see ‘AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS*’, 
page 48).
1. Temperature control
Move the lever downwards (towards the RED 
arrow) to increase air temperature, or upwards 
(towards the BLUE arrow) to reduce air 
temperature. 
2. Air distribution control
•Lever fully up - windscreen vents only.
•Lever midway - foot level and windscreen 
vents.
•Lever fully down - foot level vents (also 
provides some air to the windscreen).3. Air blower control
•Lever at position ‘0’ - no air will enter the 
vehicle through the windscreen and foot 
level vents.
•Lever between positions ‘0’ and ‘1’ - 
progressively more air will enter the vehicle, 
depending solely on the ram effect of the 
vehicle moving through the air.
•Lever between positions ‘1’ and ‘2’ - the fan 
will operate and progressively increase in 
speed.

USING YOUR HEATER
The following examples of basic heater settings 
are intended as a general guide; the air

available until the engine has reached its 
normal operating temperature.

							Air Conditioning

A ir Co nditioningAIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS*
1. On/off blower control
Rotate clockwise to the first position to turn on 
the air conditioning. Rotate further (positions II 
and III) to increase the flow of conditioned air 
from the four vents in the lower fascia.
NOTE: The air conditioning will only operate 
with the engine running.
2. Temperature control 
Rotate clockwise (positions I to III) to obtain 
progressively cooler air.Air conditioning vents
The four air conditioning vents located in the 
lower fascia can be adjusted to suit your 
requirements. The adjuster in the centre of each 
vent can be used to adjust volume and direction 
of air. To cut off the supply of air from any 
particular vent, slide the adjuster fully to the 
left.
General operating notes
•For optimum operating efficiency, ensure all 
the air conditioning vents are open.
•In very humid conditions, slight screen 
misting may be experienced when the air 
conditioning system is turned on. This is a 
natural occurrence on most automotive air 
conditioning systems. It is not a fault and 
misting will clear after a few seconds once 
the air conditioning system is operating.
•If the temperature inside the vehicle is 
higher than that outside when you start the 
engine, it will take time for the air 
conditioning to become fully effective. It is 
best to ventilate the vehicle by opening the 
windows and setting the controls to 
‘Maximum cooling’. When the vehicle has 
been ventilated, close the windows and set 
the blower controls for personal comfort.
•Operating the air conditioning takes power 
from the engine and consequently increases 
fuel consumption.

							Air Conditioning
49
•All air conditioning systems need to be 
operated for a short while every week (even 
in winter) to maintain them in peak 
condition.
•Surplus water produced by the 
dehumidifying process is expelled from the 
system via drain tubes beneath the vehicle. 
This may result in a small pool of water 
forming on the road when the vehicle is 
stationary and is not a cause for concern.
USING THE AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning provides additional cooling to 
the vehicle interior and also reduces the 
moisture content of the air.
It is important to keep windows, sunroof
* and 
fresh air vents closed during operation.
Air conditioning settings
When air conditioning is to be used, ensure that 
the fresh air vents are closed, and the heater 
unit controls are set as shown, i.e.
Air blower control - position ‘0’.
Temperature control - fully up.
Distribution control - fully up.
The following examples of air conditioning 
settings are included for your guidance.Normal cooling
Temperature control - set to positions I or II.
Blower control - set to desired speed.
Maximum cooling
Temperature control - set to position III.
Blower control - set to position III.
