The A/THR is activated : By pressing the A/THR pushbutton on the FCU, provided thrust levers are in the A/THR active range. By setting thrust levers back into A/THR active range.

The A/THR is disconnected : By bringing all thrust levers to IDLE. By pressing the instinctive pushbuttons :

Active range
CLIMB

Active range of A/THR : between IDLE & CLIMB (all engines operative). The FMGS computes the thrust (limited to the value corresponding p g to the lever p position) ):

A/THR logic
The EPR command (calculated by the FMGS) varies between idle and the thrust corresponding to the actual position of the levers. The lever position do not necessarily represents the engine thrust delivered.
