Temperature Increase/Decrease Switch


With the system in any mode but OFF and the SET temperature is between (85°F and 65°F), pressing the increase or decrease end of the switch once increases or decreases the SET temperature one degree. If the decrease end of the switch is pressed with the SET temperature at 65°F, SET temperature drops immediately to 60°F. If the increase end of the switch is pressed with the SET temperature at 85°F, the SET temperature jumps immediately to 90°F.

An increase or decrease of the SET temperature signals the HVAC programmer to take the Steps necessary (change blower speed, change air discharge location, change air temperature) to bring the passenger compartment temperature to the new SET temperature.

With the system in manual mode, pressing either end of the temperature switch causes the system to turn on in the "AUTO" mode. The system displays the outside temperature approximately five seconds after the last change on the temperature knob, as well as when the system is in the OFF mode.
