DEFROST
When DEFROST is selected:
- The air inlet door actuator opens, admitting only outside air into the passenger compartment.

- The A/C request button will toggle the indicator. To reduce fogging, the A/C compressor will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperature is above approximately 2°C (35°F).
- The blower motor is ON.

SYSTEM AIRFLOW DESCRIPTION - EATC

AUTO
When AUTO is selected:
- The temperature control setting is manually set to the desired setting.
- The air inlet door actuator is automatically controlled by the EATC module, based on the temperature setting. Manual overdrive is allowed.
- The defrost/panel/floor mode door actuator is automatically controlled by the EATC module based on the temperature setting.
- The A/C compressor is automatically controlled by the EATC module based on the temperature setting. The A/C compressor will not operate if the outside temperature is below approximately 2°C (35°F). The A/C indicator will automatically turns ON above approximately 2°C (35°F) and automatically turns OFF below approximately -0.5°C (31°F). Manual override is allowed.
- The A/C request button and the RECIRC request button can be manually selected. When manually selected, the A/C indicator will not change state with the changing outside temperature.
- The blower motor is on. The blower motor speed is automatically controlled by the EATC module based on the temperature setting, but can be manually overridden.
