CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
Ventilation System
The Saab 900 has a sophisticated flow through
ventilatlon system with an optional integrated

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
