CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

Ventilation System

The Saab 900 has a sophisticated flow through

ventilatlon system with an optional integrated

air conditioner. Air enters

at

the

right

hood

louver and exits at the rear quarter panel gril les.

All incoming air passes through the air filter (or

AC evaporator} and, except for air channeled to

the center panel vent, theri passes through the

heater core. All system co

ntrols

are located In

the center

of

the

nstrument panel. Aschematic

of

the Interior outlets is shown below. The three

panel vents are adjustable directionally and

have individual thumb wheel shut

off

switches

=Off).

Outer panel vents (adjustable)

3.

Center panel vent (adjustable)

4. Floor outlets

Fresh Air Fii ter

900 Models without AC)

All Incoming air passes through the fresh air

filter which removes pollen, dust, and other air

borne particles.

The

filter element should be changed every

15000 miles. Caution: Avoid skin contact wit )

the treated fibers. Irritation may result.

Air

Conditioning (Optional)

On the 900 Turbo and other models equipped

with air conditioning lhere

Is

an on/off sw

itch

for the AC compressor. The compressor can bo

turned on independent of other

clima

te contfol

settings. (II wlll not switch on If the outside

temperature is

below

38F.) AC

equlppod

models also have a recirculation feature lncor

poratod In the Max

Ven

t poslllon of the air

bullon selector.

Run the air conditioner a few minutes occa

slonally during the winter to ensure proper com

pressor seal lubricallon.

CONTROL and SETIINGS

The rotary control switches are located In the

center of the Instrument panel.

1. Fan Switch

Th e fan is

off

when the air distribution selector

Is in the 0 position. II automatically runs In Its

fourth speed In the Max Vent position. In all

other positions the rotary fan switch governs

the fan speed. The switch has positions for the

fi rs

t through third speeds.

2. Temperature Control

All Incoming air except that emitted from the

oonler panel vent passes through the heater

core. The temperature control modulates the

nmount of heat added to the al r by controlling

tho flow of heated engine coolant through the

core Turning the rotary knob clockwise in

c1oosos the temperatu re.

3.

Air Distribution Sele
