The ATC maintains the temperature you select and automatically controls the airflow for your comfort. It also allows you to override the automatic operation of airflow and fan speed with manual function selector buttons and the fan speed dial. When you select the AUTOMATIC button, the system determines airflow location and fan speed automatically. It also automatically determines whether you will be receiving fresh outside airflow, recirculated interior airflow, or a combination of both. You can manually override the airflow source (outside or recirculated air) and airflow location by selecting one of the function selector buttons. You can also manually override the fan speed by rotating the fan speed dial. Whether you operate in the AUTOMATIC mode or manually override the AUTOMATIC mode settings, the ATC will continue to maintain the air temperature you have selected. However, if you choose to manually override the airflow location by selecting one of the function selector buttons, you will also need to select the A/C button if you desire cool air-conditioned air. (Your ATC automatically operates the air conditioning [if required] when you are in the AUTOMATIC mode without illuminating the A/C button, but the system requires you to manually select the A/C button if you desire A/C operation when you manually override airflow location.) If you want continuous maximum cooling, push the Ĭ side of the TEMP button until 60˚F (16˚C) shows in the display window. The ATC will cool at its maximum level and disregard the 60˚F (16˚C) setting until a warmer temperature is selected. If you want continuous maximum heating, push the į side of the TEMP button until 90˚F (32˚C) shows in the display window. The ATC will provide maximum heat regardless of the 90˚F (32˚C) setting until a cooler temperature is selected. 104
