REAR CONTROL PANEL
The Three-Zone ATC sytem utilizes a rear control
panel centrally mounted on the headliner which
includes a VF digital display, a rocker control for
temperature and rotary controls for adjustment of
mode and fan speed of the rear heating-A/C system
by intermediate seat passengers.
OPERATION
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
The heating and air conditioning systems pulls
outside (ambient) air through the cowl opening at the
base of the windshield and into the plenum chamber
above the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) housing, then through the evaporator coil.
Air flow can be directed either through or around the
heater core by adjusting the blend door with the tem-
perature control knob on the A/C-heater control
located on instrument panel. The air flow can then
be directed out from the panel, floor and defrost out-
lets in various combinations using the mode control
knob located on the A/C-heater control. Air flow
velocity can be adjusted with the blower speed selec-
tor located on the A/C-heater control.
NOTE: It is important to keep the air intake opening
clear of debris. Leaf particles and other debris that
is small enough to pass through the cowl opening
screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing.
The closed, warm, damp and dark environment cre-
ated within the housing is ideal for the growth of
certain molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accu-mulation of decaying plant matter provides an addi-
tional food source for fungal spores, which enter
the housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris,
as well as objectionable odors created by decaying
plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged
into the passenger compartment during heater-A/C
operation if the air intake opening is not kept clear
of debris.
The heater and air conditioning system is a blend-
air type system. In a blend-air system, a blend door
controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed
to flow through, or around, the heater core. The tem-
perature control knob determines the discharge air
temperature by actuating an electric motor, which
operates the blend door. This allows an almost imme-
diate control of the output air temperature of the sys-
tem.
On all models, the outside air intake can be shut
off by pressing the Recirculation button on the A/C-
heater control. This will operate a electric actuated
recirculation air door that closes off the outside fresh
air intake and recirculates the air that is already
inside the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor can be engaged in
any mode by pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off but-
ton. It can also be engaged by placing the mode con-
trol in the mix to defrost positions. This will remove
heat and humidity from the air before it is directed
through or around the heater core. The mode control
knob on the A/C-heater control is used to also direct
the conditioned air to the selected system outlets.
The mode control switch uses an electric motor to
control the mode doors.MANUAL SINGLE ZONE
²The temperature control knob enables continu-
ously variable proportioning of the conditioned air.
²The mode control knob enables continuously
variable proportioning of air flow between modes and
has detents adjacent to each icon.
²The blower control provides four separate speeds
and an Off position.
²When the heater-A/C system is off, the HVAC
computer closes the recirculation door to prevent out-
side air from entering the passenger compartment.
²Interior air may be recirculated to speed up
heating or cooling in all modes except defrost and
mix by pressing the Recirculate button on the A/C-
heater control.
²To reduce humidity for rapid defogging, the A/C
compressor runs automatically in modes from ªmixº
to full defrost when outside temperatures are above
freezing.
²Air conditioning is available in any mode by
pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off button.

opened stop, reinstall the air filter door onto the
lower HVAC housing air filter opening.
(4) Slide the air filter door latch toward the front
of the vehicle until it hits the closed stop on the door.
AIR OUTLETS
DESCRIPTION
Based upon the system mode selected, conditioned
air can exit the front HVAC housing through one or a
combination of the four main housing outlets: defrost,
demist, panel, or floor. Once the conditioned air exits
the unit housing, it is directed through molded plas-
tic ducts to the various outlets in the vehicle interior.
These outlets and their locations are as follows:²Defroster Outlet- A single, centrally mounted
outlet delivers air for defrosting the large windshield.
Because outlet vanes are not needed to direct flow, a
simple, integral grid is molded into the center of the
instrument panel top cover to prevent objects from
falling into the duct. If the defroster outlet is faulty
or damaged, the instrument panel top cover must be
replaced.
²Demister Outlets- There are two side window
demisters that aid in defogging and defrosting the
front door windows. One demister outlet is located at
each outboard end of the instrument panel top pad,
near the belt line at the A-pillars. The demister out-
lets can be removed from the top pad individually for
service replacement.
²Instrument Panel Outlets- There are five
panel outlets in the instrument panel, one located
near each outboard end of the instrument panel fac-
ing the rear of the vehicle, and three located near the
top of the instrument panel center bezel. On models
with manual temperature control, all five of these
outlets are fully adjustable. On models with Auto-
matic Temperature Control (ATC) system, the center
outlet in the center bezel has fixed vanes because it
also houses the remote infrared temperature sensors
for the front seat positions. The outboard outlets can
be removed individually for service replacement. The
center bezel outlets are serviced as a gang of three
outlets and, on models with ATC, also includes the
infrared sensors.
²Front Door Rear Outlets- A fully adjustable
outlet located at the rear of each front door trim
panel supplies only cooled air to the intermediate
seat passengers. Air is supplied to these outlets from
the instrument panel through ducts in the doors that
use molded seals at the instrument panel to prevent
air leakage. The door ducts are integral to the front
door trim panels. These outlets also incorporate a red
reflector to improve the safety and visibility of an
opened front door to traffic approaching the vehicle
from the rear at night. These outlets can be removed
from the door trim panels for service replacement.
²Front Floor Outlets- There are two front floor
outlets, one located above each side of the floor panel
center tunnel below the instrument panel. These out-
lets are integral to the front HVAC distribution hous-
ing.
²Rear Floor Outlets- Wide rear floor outlets
located under each front seat have integral, fixed
directional dividers to distribute heated air across
the floor for intermediate seat passengers. These out-
lets are integral to the floor distribution ducts routed
under the front floor carpet from an outlet nozzle on
the bottom of the front HVAC distribution housing.

HEATER CORE
DESCRIPTION
The rear heater core is located near the front of
the rear HVAC housing, behind the right rear wheel
house. It is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes
and fins. One end of the core is fitted with a molded
plastic tank that includes integral heater core inlet
and outlet nipples. The rear heater core can be ser-
viced without removing the rear HVAC housing from
the vehicle.
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through underbody
heater hoses to the rear heater core at all times. As
the coolant flows through the rear heater core, heat
removed from the engine is transferred to the heater
core fins and tubes. Air directed through the heater
core picks up the heat from the heater core fins. The
rear blend door allows control of the rear heater out-
put air temperature by controlling how much of the
air flowing through the rear HVAC housing is
directed through the heater core.
The rear heater core cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
REAR HEATER CORE FILLING
In its final installed position, the rear heater core
is positioned higher than the radiator fill cap. There-
fore, when the cooling system is drained and refilled,
gravity will not refill the heater core with coolant to
the proper level. This may result in two problems:1.
Insufficient coolant level in the engine cooling sys-
tem, which may result in engine overheating.2.Air
entrapped within the rear heater core, which may
result in insufficient rear heater performance. There
are two methods that may be employed to prevent
these problems:1.Pre-filling of the rear heater core.
2.Thermal cycling of the engine cooling system. Fol-lowing are descriptions of both prevention methods,
as well as a method to verify rear heater perfor-
mance.
WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARN-
INGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING
FRONT - WARNING - HEATER PLUMBING).
PRE-FILLING
If the rear heater core or the rear HVAC housing
have been removed from the vehicle for service, the
rear heater core may be pre-filled with the proper
engine coolant mixture prior to reconnecting the
heater hoses to the heater core hose fittings.
(1) The heater core should be installed in the rear
HVAC housing, and the rear HVAC housing should
be installed in the vehicle.
(2) Take the proper precautions to protect the car-
peting below the rear heater core from spilled engine
coolant and have absorbent toweling readily avail-
able to mop up any spills.
(3) Insert the small end of an appropriate funnel
into the upper hose fitting of the heater core (Fig. 4).
(4) Carefully pour the proper pre-mixed engine
coolant solution into the rear heater core through a
funnel until coolant begins to appear at the lower
hose fitting of the heater core.
(5) Use absorbent toweling to clean up any engine
coolant spills from the preceding operation.
(6) Reconnect the heater hoses to the rear heater
core (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/PLUMBING - REAR/HEATER HOSE - INSTAL-
LATION).
