Heating and ventilation system

See position 21 in paragraph 2.

The heating and ventilation system is arranged as follows. Outside air enters the air intake at the windshield, passes through the air filter, fan, heater ducts, deflector system and then enters the passenger compartment. Temperature, air flow and air distribution can be adjusted.

Warning: Be aware that the windshield air intake must always be cleared of snow, leaves and other debris.

Air exits the passenger compartment through the shutters in the rear doors (in the model «Station wagons) right and left of the rear window.

While the car is moving, the air flow entering the passenger compartment through special deflectors at the driver's and front passenger's doors passes along the side windows to the rear window and exits. This system provides a constant exchange of air in the cabin and prevents fogging of the windows.

Additional heating system

Attention: Before using the auxiliary heating, the anti-theft system must be turned off - otherwise the alarm may go off.

Air distribution

The airflow entering the passenger compartment can be adjusted using a special switch on the front panel, and distributed using the handles on the side and center vents.

Fan

Optionally, you can set the fan in one of four modes or turn it off, for example, when fumes enter the cabin. In this case, the damper of the ventilation system closes and the flow of air into the passenger compartment stops.

Center and side deflectors

The flow of air entering the passenger compartment can be adjusted using the handles on the side of the deflectors. The deflectors can be rotated vertically or horizontally as desired.

Heater regulator

When the regulator knob is in the leftmost position, outside air without heating enters the passenger compartment. By turning the control knob to the right, you can select a warmer temperature setting. Heated air, like cold air, enters the cabin through all the deflectors.

Air distribution controller

The controller controls dampers that can open or close ducts that direct air to the vents and under the front panel. The switch positions have the following meanings.

1. «in feet»
The main air flow is directed down to the legs. The rest of the volume - to the central and side deflectors.

8. «At the feet and on the windshield»
The main air flow goes to the legs and to the windshield. The rest of the volume - to the central and side deflectors.

3. «At the feet and at the level of the head»
The main air flow goes to the legs and at head level. The rest is on the windshield.

4. «At head level»
The main airflow is at head level. The rest is on the windshield.

5. «On the windshield»
All air flow goes to the windshield.

Prevent fogging and freezing of the windshield

To do this, you need to put the heater regulator in the extreme right position, and the air flow distribution handle in the position «On the windshield». The fan speed can be set to positions 2, 3 or 4. For comfort, the air distribution control can be switched to positions «in feet» or «At the feet and on the windshield».

Quick interior heating

To do this, you need to put the heater regulator in the extreme right position, and the air flow distribution handle in the position «in feet». The fan speed can be set to positions 2, 3 or 4.

Fast interior heating in cold weather

If the air flow directed «in feet», not enough to heat the windows, set the distributor handle to the position «At the feet and on the windshield».

Ventilation

To do this, set the airflow distribution knob to the position «At head level» or «At the feet and at the level of the head». The fan can be installed in 1,2,3 or 4 modes, the central and side deflectors can be opened as desired.

When hit on the road «cork»

As a rule, in «traffic jams» the air is heavily polluted. To prevent it from entering the passenger compartment, it is recommended to set the air flow distributor knob to the position «Off»: Air supply to the system will stop and the fan will turn off.
