Automatic Climate Control ?

Automatic Climate Control ?
I was just looking at the '06 catalog and noticed under Air Conditioning in the spec's section is says "Automatic Climate Control", while the other model (gas) civic sedans it just has a dot to indicate it is include in that model. Does anyone know if this is like the thermostat control on the Prius, where you set a temperature you want the passanger compartment to be kept at or if it is something different?

You set the temperature to a specific point and the car automatically does its best to maintain the selected climate.
It's an automatic climate control.
It's standard on all the HCH's. (I guess for '06 as well)

It is pretty cool too, you have to learn how to use it a bit, but once you do it is one of those things you can learn to like a lot. :-)
For example, on the HCH, the bigger the difference between the temperature you set and the cabin temperature, the higher the fan speed will be, and it will gradually slow down as the temperature is reached (if you run the fan speed in AUTO).
I once had the air on, with the thermostat set for 70, and hit a prolonged patch of trees. The fan speed dropped significantly, and I assume the compressor cut out also, I didn't experience the usual frigid effect from sudden shade with the air on.
The first time it happened I was really impressed. :-)

Basically, I've driven cars with automatic climate control, and I tend to constantly be adjusting it and fidgeting with it because it keeps turning A/C on or off or altering fan speed. With manual climate control, on the other hand, I never need to tamper with it -- I set it when I get in the car and that's it. Sometimes I decide I'm a bit too hot or too cool, in which case I adjust it once and that's that.

I had it in my Acura and never adjusted the temp except to move it to 76 in the summer and 74 in the winter.
