Turning The Datc System On, Single Zone Control - Ford 2002 Thunderbird Owner's Manual

Climate Controls
Your vehicle is equipped with a Dual Automatic Temperature Control
(DATC) system. The system will maintain a selected temperature and
automatically control air flow.
You can override the automatic operation with any of the override
controls.
The dual temperature zone feature allows the driver and front passenger
to set their own independent temperature set points for individual
comfort. The system uses common controls for air distribution and fan
speed for both driver and passenger.

Turning the DATC system on, single zone control

Press AUTO, any of the override controls, the fan speed control, or the
driver temperature selection control to turn the DATC system on in the
single zone control. While in single zone control the driver and passenger
set temperatures are equalized, and only the driver's set temperature is
displayed. The DATC system will only operate when the ignition is in the
RUN position.
