[IP10360(ALL)06/95]
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

Automatic Operation
[IP10380(ALL)06/95]
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.
[IP10390(ALL)06/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air
is sent to the floor. However, a feature is included in the ATC
to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is
not warm enough to provide heating. Within three or four
minutes (of determining the engine coolant is not warm enough)
the fan speed gradually increases and airflow changes to the
floor.
[IP10400(ALL)06/95]
If specific conditions exist (such as window fogging) the five
override buttons allow specific airflow selection. The
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.

Temperature Selection
[IP10420(ALL)06/95]
TheNTEMPMbutton on the left side of the control panel is
for temperature selection. TheNside lowers the set
temperature, and theMside raises the set temperature. Press
and hold either side of the button to rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to either65ÊF
(18ÊC) or 85ÊF (29ÊC).Then, the set temperature jumps 5ÊF and
stops at either60ÊF (16ÊC),which is maximum cooling, or90ÊF
(32ÊC),which is maximum heating.

Metric.
[IP10430(ALL)06/95]
Fan Speed and Thumbwheel
[IP10440(ALL)06/95]
The ATC automatically adjusts the fan speed to the existing
conditions. To control the fan speed yourself, use the
thumbwheel located at the extreme right side of the ATC
control panel. Using the thumbwheel cancels the automatic fan
speed control, and causes a
Hto appear in the display window.
Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI speeds and down for LO
speeds.
[IP10450(ALL)06/95]
To return to auto fan control, press the AUTOMATIC button.
[IP10460(ALL)06/95]
Airflow Function Selector Buttons
[IP10470(ALL)06/95]
Your ATC has five buttons which allow you to make special
selections for airflow. The buttons are grouped in the middle of
the ATC panel and allow you to determine airflow location.
Pressing any of the function selector buttons illuminates the
button pushed and directs airflow to the appropriate location.
The temperature of the airflow will still be automatically
controlled. Return to fully automatic operation by pushing the
AUTOMATIC button.
