'71 CHARGER R/T Major Options
-
Air Conditioning
The Charger air-conditioning system is easily controlled by two sliding levers and a 3-position blower switch. In addition to providing the exact degree of coolness desired in the summer, and the exact degree of warmth desired in the winter, you can also dehumidify all year long. On cool but humid days, you simply slide the lower lever to warm, the upper lever to A/C, and set the blower switch at low, medium, or high. The outside air is first cooled to remove the excess humidity, and then warmed to the degree you desire before it is sent into the passenger compartment. New for 1971, the vent control permits fresh air to be brought into the car through the air-conditioning outlets. Air conditioning also increases the resale value of your car.A. Fan. This three-position switch controls the three speeds of the fan Low, Medium and High.
B. Max A/C. This provides maximum air conditioning by shutting out the outside air and cooling and recirculating the air in the car.
C. A/C. A measured amount of fresh air is cooled and added to the cool air in the car.
D. Vent. This permits fresh outside air to enter the car through the air - conditioning outlets.
E. Off. Simply moving the upper lever to this position turns off the system.
F. Heat. When used in conjunction with the lower Temperature lever, this setting provides the desired degree of warmth.
G. Def. Setting the upper lever in this position causes the proper amount of air to be sent to the defrosting outlets.
H. Temp. The farther to the right the lower lever is moved, the greater the degree of warmth. The farther to the left, the cooler it will become.
