Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) —

The climate controls will be automatically
adjusted to the optimal temperature and mode
settings depending on the outside ambient
temperature. This will occur until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position where the
climate controls will resume their previous
settings.
Manual Temperature Control (MTC) —
If Equipped
In ambient temperatures at 40°F (4.5°C) or

cabin. If the front defrost timer expires, the
vehicle will enter Mix Mode.
In ambient temperatures from 40°F (4.5°C)
to 78°F (26°C), the climate settings will be
based on the last settings selected by the
driver.
In ambient temperatures at 78°F (26°C) or
above, the climate settings will default to MAX
A/C, Bi-Level Mode, with Recirculation on.
