AIR INTAKE CONTROL
This is used to select either fresh outside
air or recirculated air.
RECIRCULATED AIR POSI-
TION
When the air intake control switch is
depressed (switch indicator illuminates),
almost all outside air flow into the
vehicle is shut off and air inside the
vehicle is recirculated.
This position can be used temporarily for
maximum heating or cooling (if
equipped with air conditioning) and to
help prevent undesirable outside air flow
into the vehicle.
Outside (Fresh) Air Position
When the air intake control switch is not
illuminated air enters the ventilation
system from outside the vehicle. Use this
position for normal ventilation and
heating.
Heating and Cooling System
