The ventilation system of Datsun 1200 allows for fresh air even with all windows rolled up.

• Coupe: air flows out through the side chrome grilles
• Sedan: air flows out through the slots in the C-pillar

Usage

USA 1972 Owners manual (see pages 18 for details): fresh air in any weather

Also see: Heater

No-heater models

Ventilation for models originally equipped with No Heater.

USA 1972 Owners manual (see page 19 for details): The valve has only thre positions: CLOSE, HALF OPEN and FULLY OPEN

Ventilation Flow

• Inlet: In the Datsun 1200 passenger compartment ventilation system, air is drawn from:
  1. the air intake on the cowl top, and
  2. ventilator (quarter window) on the front door.
• Outlet: This air is exhausted from the slip shape air outlets on the rear pillar. Thus, the body is ventilated sufficiently -- even with all the windows rolled up.
  • Coupe air outlets (not shown) are under the two chrome side vents.

• The baffle causes water to run past the cabin air intake.
• Carefully tighten the ABS plastic grille, not very tight, so that you do not crack the plastic.
