Controls and Features 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 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 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. The display window and the function selector buttons indicate how the system is operating. The display window shows the selected temperature and displays AUTO if you are operating in the AUTOMATIC mode. If you override the automatic mode by selecting any of the function selector buttons, AUTO no longer appears in the display window and the appropriate function selector button(s) illuminate. The display window also indicates manual (thumbwheel) control of the fan speed when a is shown. Automatic Operation Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the desired temperature. The selected temperature and AUTO appear in the display window. The ATC heats or cools to achieve the set temperature. It is important to note that if the ATC engages your vehicle's air-conditioning, it will do so automatically without illuminating the A/C button. 69
