• MAXIMUM HEAT REQUIREMENTS-Depress HEAT lever
to extreme down position. If heat becomes exces-
sive, pull up HEAT knob to desired position.
Additional rear seat
compartment heat may be
obtained by opening the
heater outlet located in the
seat riser.
Heater Operating Tips
The Direct Air Heater receives air from the air inlet
louvers below the rear window. Clean snow from this
opening and surrounding areas before operating the
heater.
Operate the heater for several minutes before turn-
ing on the defroster. This will clear the system of moisture
and help prevent windshield fogging.
Keep all windows and vents closed to reduce drafts,
and noise.
Quicker defrosting may be obtained when the rear
seat heater outlets are closed.
AIR CONDITIONING
The optional air conditioner provides controlled con-
ditioned air at each of the three dash panel mounted
outlets.
Air conditioner and heater are two separate units
with a common control housing-The air condition con-
trols function as follows.

COOL - Depress the COOL
lever as required to pro-
vide the desired condi-
tioned air temperature
through the dash outlets.
COOL lever must be de-
pressed past detent be-
fore cooling fan will
operate.
FAN-Vary the fan switch as
necessary to satisfy com-
fort requirements. The FAN
switch must be turned ON to at least "lOW" speed
during all cooling operations.
AIR-For maximum cooling capacity during periods of
extreme heat and humidity, and when first turning
on the system, the air lever should be in the full
"UP" position. Depress lever to satisfy needs under
less severe cooling requirements.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING TIPS
Always operate the Air Conditioning System with all
windows and vents closed to eliminate drafts, wind and
road noise. The cover plate furnished should remain
installed over the engine air recirculating slot during
the season when cooling is required. This plate should
be removed, and stowed, when outside temperatures are
continuously below 60°F.
For the best system operation at altitudes over 4000
ft., do not operate with control set to maximum cooling.
