2 LED Lights on Auto (HVAC) Button

[Patriot]

Does anyone know what both LED lights (vs only 1) on the HVAC Auto button means?

For max cooling of the cabin, should I press the Auto button so that both LED lights are on or only 1?

When both LEDs are lit, the climate control is in full auto mode. If you change the blower control, one of the lights will go out (while the air distribution/direction will still be in auto). If you change the air distribution (say to the floor) it will go to manual mode and both lights will be out. You end up with three options:

1. Full auto (two lights lit)
2. Blower auto, with distribution manual (one light lit)
3. Distribution auto, with blower manual (one light lit)

I missed your last question. For max cooling, you should turn both temp dials to the blue setting and make sure the "recirc" button is on. Then leave it in full auto and let the car do the work.

Thanks the Gods I found this post. I've been going bonkers trying to figure out what the two vs one light combination meant. Many hour online and in the truck. I almost.......GASP.....looked it up in the manual.
