Auto Mode utilizes DPC Technology™
(Dynamic Power Control Technology), which
uses infrared sensors to automatically detect
the amount of dust and debris that is traveling
through the vacuum, and then adjusts the
suction power to accommodate the amount
of dust. If there is more dust, the suction
power will be higher, and if there is less dust,
the suction power will be lower.
