FORD 2002 Explorer v.1 - Manual (Page 43)

When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. However, the air recirculation indicator will not be
lit. If the recirculated air is selected while in AUTO operation, the DEATC
system will be disabled and you will return to manual operation with the
recirculated air indicator lit and with the A/C operating.
To return to automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DEATC system in recirculated air operation for
extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in
cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DEATC system
will turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all
operating override controls. More than one override control indicator
may turn on when an override control is selected.
