1998 LINCOLN TOWN CAR window

Automatic operation
Press AUTO 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 fresh outside
air or recirculated air is required.
Fan speed remains automatic
unless the fan speed control is
pressed or the steering wheel fan
speed control is pressed.
When in AUTO and weather
conditions require heat, air will be
sent to the floor. However, if the
engine is not warm enough to
provide heat, the fan will be at a
low speed and the air will be
directed to the windshield. In 3ó
minutes or less, the fan speed will
start to increase and the airflow
location will change to the floor
area.
If unusual conditions exist
(i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the
manual override controls allow you
to select airflow locations and the
fan control allows you to adjust fan
speed as necessary.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of
fan speed (
) if automatic fan
speed is not desired.

10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to prevent
fogging.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and
the fan will not operate. For
short periods of time only, use
this mode to prevent
undesirable odors from entering
the vehicle.
Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT to display the outside
air temperature. It will be
displayed until EXT is pressed
again.
If the selected temperature is
changed while the outside
temperature is displayed, the new
temperature will be displayed for
four seconds after it is changed,
then the outside temperature will
return to the window.
If a manual override function is
selected while the outside
temperature is displayed, the new
function will be displayed for four
seconds after it is changed, then
the outside temperature will return
to the window along with the
override selection.
The outside temperature reading is
most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be
obtained when the vehicle is not

may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to
differences in vehicle and station
locations.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, select FRONT
before driving. This will
prevent your windshield from
fogging. After a few minutes,
select any desired position.
²To prevent humidity buildup
inside the vehicle, don't drive
with the climate control system
in the OFF position.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked
with the windows closed during
hot weather, the air conditioner
will do a much faster job of
cooling if you drive for two or
three minutes with the windows
open. This will force most of the
hot, stale air out of the vehicle.
Then operate the air conditioner
as you would normally.
²When placing objects on top of
your instrument panel, be
careful to not place them over
the defroster outlets. These
objects can block airflow and
