Selector (Upper Lever)
This lever provides a selection of
systems available to handle various
heating and cooling requirements
throughout the year. The positions
of the Selector lever are separated
into four (4) major operational
groups "Off", IIAir Conditioning",
IIVent" and IIHeating". The "Air
Conditioning" and IIHeating"
groups have several positions which
improve the effectiveness of the
system for various demands.
Fan
The fan lever has four (4) posi-
tions from Lo at the top to High at
the bottom. Blower speed is auto-
matically maintained when the
ignition switch is in the "ON" posi-
tion, regardless of the position of
the selector lever. The blower re-
mains ON with the Selector lever
in the OFF position and the igni-
tion switch ON in order to purge
moisture from the evaporator core
and distributor ducts, thereby help-
ing to prevent inadvertent flash
fogging of the windows when the
system is turned on.
Selector Lever Operation
uOFF" -Shuts the entire system off
but blower automatically remains
operative.
uMAX"-Air from the passenger
compartment is recirculated
through the system and discharged
from the upper outlets when the
temperature lever is in "Max." cold.
(If
the liTem perature" lever is
moved warmer, the system will
automatically go on outside air.)
The IIMax." position is used when
maximum cooling is required under
conditions of high temperature and
humidity.
uNORMAL" -Outside air is passed
through the system and discharged
through the
Al e
outlets. This posi-
27
tion is recommended for most air
conditioning situations because of
reduced blower noise and reduction
of cigarette smoke within the ve-
hicle.
uBI-LEVEL"-Outside air is passed
through the system and discharged
from both the upper and lower out-
lets. This position is recommended
for sunny cooler weather where
warm air is required on the feet
with cooler air above to provide
comfortable breath level. Temper-
ature may be adjusted as desired.
(<> BI-Level position)
NOTE: This position will clear
fogged windows rapidly due to the
dehumidifying effect of the cooling
coils when the outside temperature
is above 30°F.
UVENT" -Air flow and tempera-
ture control are the same as "BI-
Level" except that the compressor
