Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) - Overview: Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The DATC system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by heating and/or cooling the air based on the HVAC control panel selection.

During A/C operation, the system reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.
The temperature control setting is the desired cabin air temperature.
The blower motor control override buttons vary the blower motor speed.
The driver side and passenger side temperature settings can be individually controlled.
