Climate Control System - Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Overview

The DATC system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by heating and/or cooling the air depending 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.
Vehicles equipped with Auto Start-Stop have a cabin heater coolant pump to help coolant flow to the heater core.
