AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
*
Auto mode
In brief
NOTE: An enclosed area in the
centre of the display will show
‘AUTO’, together with the
temperature, air distribution and
blower symbols.
•
Press the ’AUTO’ button for fully automatic operation.
•
Press the temperature control switches to select the
required temperature (see ‘Temperature control’) - a
temperature of 22° C (72° F) is recommended.
•
Let the automatic temperature control system do the rest.
Operating tip: For ATC to
function correctly, all windows
(and sunroof) should be closed
and the air intake must be free
from obstructions (ice, snow,
leaves and other debris). In
addition, the solar sensor
centrally positioned on the top of
the fascia panel must not be
covered.
The air conditioning system features automatic temperature
and air distribution control, which is programmed to maintain
optimum levels of comfort within the car in all but the most
severe climatic conditions.
While the controls can be adjusted manually to satisfy
individual requirements, allowing the system to function
automatically (in Auto mode) is by far the simplest method of
operation for the owner and is preferable in most operating
conditions.
NOTE: In Auto mode, following a
cold start at low exterior
temperatures, the blower speed
will not increase until the engine
coolant temperature has started
to rise.
In Auto mode, air temperature, air distribution and blower
speeds are adjusted automatically to achieve and then
maintain the desired temperature.
Both the air distribution and blower controls can be operated
independently to override the automatic setting. In this case,
the relative symbols will move outside the enclosed area of
the display, to indicate that they are no longer controlled
automatically.
