DATC automatic operation

Press AUTO and select the desired
temperature. The selected
temperature will appear in the
display window, and an indicator
above the AUTO control will light.
The DATC system will either heat or
cool the vehicle to achieve the
selected temperature. The system
will automatically determine the fan
speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is
required.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the DATC directs
the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some
airflow out of the defroster, demister outlets and outer instrument panel
registers in order to reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is
not warm enough to provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed
and the airflow will be directed to the windshield or to the floor. In
approximately 3
and the airflow location will change to the floor area.
When in AUTO mode, the DATC system automatically controls the air
conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and
determines whether outside or recirculated air is required. Manual
control of the A/C, air recirculation and fan speed are available in auto
mode.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging), the manual override
controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To return to
full automatic control, press the AUTO control.
1 ⁄ minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase
