Section 16 (Automatic A/C-Heater Systems): Description
The A/C-heater control panel has buttons to control system. Blower speed is controlled automatically according to difference between selected temperature and interior temperature. Blower speed can also be controlled manually.
The A/C-heater control panel left side display shows selected temperature and automatic functions. See Fig 2 . The right side display indicates manual functions. The A/C-heater system microprocessor, located within A/C-heater control panel, has a self-diagnostic feature.
The A/C-heater system automatically maintains temperatures from 64°F (18°C) to 84°F (29°C). If a temperature greater than 84°F (29°C) is selected, the word HI appears in temperature display. If temperature less than 64°F (18°C) is selected, the word LO is displayed. Selection of these temperatures overrides automatic climate control system.
