Climate Control System - Vehicles With: Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The DATC system maintains the vehicle's interior temperature by heating and/or cooling the air based on the HVAC control panel selection.
- 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.
- During A/C operation, the system reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
- Vehicles equipped with a 2.7L Ecoboost ® engine and with auto start-stop have a cabin heater coolant pump to help coolant flow to the heater core.
