distribution
Holes are provided in the hood cover and tonneau cover to accommodate the
seat belt quick-release fasteners mounted on the tonneau panel. After fitting the
hood cover or tonneau cover attach the seat belts to the fasteners.
Fresh air is admitted to the car for cooling and ventilation through an adjustable
vent mounted behind the centre console. The flow of air may be adjusted by
moving the control knob (1) to one of the three open positions; move the knob
to the most forward position to close the vent. Air distribution for heating
is independent of the fresh air system. The control knob (1) should be in the
closed position when heated air is being distributed.
Air flow for cooling and ventilation from the face-level vents mounted on the
fascia panel may be adjusted by turning the serrated control wheel (2) on the
outer side of each vent. Move the wheel downwards to open.
The direction of the air flow is adjusted by moving the shutter control knob (3)
mounted in the centre of each vent.
The heating and ventilating system is designed to provide fresh air either heated
by the engine cooling system or at outside temperature to the car at floor level
and for demisting and defrosting to the windscreen.
