Description And Operation: Overview
The standard climate control system operates the Air Conditioning (A/C) system and the heating and ventilation system to control the temperature, volume and distribution of air from the climate control assembly. Operation can be fully automatic, but manual overrides are provided for the intake air source, blower speed and air distribution. The standard climate control system is a three zone system that maintains the individual temperature levels selected for the driver, front passenger and rear seat passenger areas of the vehicle.
Auxiliary climate control (where fitted) provides individual control for the left and right rear seat passenger areas to give a four zone climate control system.
For additional information, refer to: AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL .
The standard climate control system consists of the following components:
- Front Integrated Control Panel (ICP)
- Rear Integrated Control Panel (RICP)
- Automatic Temperature Control Module (ATCM)
- Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor
- Refrigerant pressure sensor
- Evaporator temperature sensor
- In-vehicle temperature sensor
- Humidity sensor
- Sunload sensors - Front and Rear
- Pollution sensor
- Duct air temperature sensors.
