Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Conditioned Air
Discharge air may be directed to either the floor and defroster outlets or to the dash registers by a cable-actuated or vacuum-actuated diverter door. If the air is not directed to the dash outlets, another cable-actuated or vacuum-operated door directs airflow to either the floor outlets or the defroster outlets.
During cooling modes of operation, air may be cooled below the comfort level. If this happens, air can be warmed by the heater core to arrive at the desired temperature by adjusting the temperature control lever.
