Air Conditioning Unit

Temperature Distribution System
The heating and ventilation unit case consists of three sections, the rear of which contains the air conditioning system evaporator. The front section, which consists of two parts, contains the heater matrix and rotary flaps. The lower outlets which direct air to footwell and rear passenger compartment, are removable.

Temperature variation within the car is achieved by incoming air passing through, or bypassing the evaporator and heater matrix.
