Climate Controls; Electronic Automatic Temperature Control - Mercury 2003--Marauder Owner's Manual

ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC)
SYSTEM
The EATC system will maintain a
selected temperature and
automatically control the fan speed
and airflow location.
Automatic operation
Press AUTOMATIC and select the desired temperature. The selected
temperature and the word AUTO will appear in the display window. The
EATC system will either heat or cool to achieve the selected
temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location and if outside air or recirculated air is required. Fan speed
remains automatic unless the fan speed thumbwheel is turned or the
steering wheel fan speed control (if equipped) is pressed.
When in automatic operation and weather conditions require heat, the
air will be sent to the floor ducts. However, until the engine has warmed,
the fan will operate at a low speed and airflow will be directed to the
windshield defroster ducts. Upon engine warm up, the system will
automatically direct airflow to the floor ducts and operate the required
fan speed to achieve the selected temperature.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual
overrides allow you to select airflow locations and the fan speed. To
return to automatic operation, press Automatic/AUTO.
Temperature selection
The control the temperature, select
the desired temperature by pressing
the temperature controls.
