The Oldsmobile Tempmatic automatic air conditioning system is available on Cutlass, 88, 98, and Toronado models. It is designed to regulate temperature of the incoming air and maintain the selected temperature as indicated on the lower lever of the control panel. Blower speed can be varied by using the fan switch. Air outlet selection can be made by using the upper lever. The refrigerant system/electrical system, and airflow patterns are identical between the manual and automatic A/C systems; also, the vacuum systems are nearly identical, except there is an additional vacuum feed to the programmer. On this automatic system, the temperature door is controlled by a vacuum motor in response to the temperature lever position and in-car temperature.
