How does semi-automatic climate control work?
YourMechanic
If your vehicle is equipped with automatic climate control, you can switch the system to semi-automatic operation if you want. This gives you more control over certain aspects of the system, but it means that it won’t be completely automatic. In semi-automatic mode, you can control:
Fan speed
Air conditioner operation
Recirculation/fresh air
Mode
Windshield defrost
